**Interview with Julie Lasky on “The House From …”**
**Editor**: Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Julie Lasky, the creator of a new documentary titled “The House From …”, which examines the phenomenon of homes becoming iconic in film and television. Julie, thank you for joining us!
**Julie Lasky**: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss the film.
**Editor**: Your documentary explores the idea of homes as stars. What inspired you to take on this subject?
**Julie Lasky**: I’ve always been fascinated by how locations can become characters in their own right. Homes often reflect the narrative of the people and stories that unfold within them. I wanted to dive deep into this intersection of architecture, storytelling, and culture.
**Editor**: Were there any particular homes that stood out to you during your research for the documentary?
**Julie Lasky**: Absolutely! One home that really captivated me was the iconic “Home Alone” house. It’s more than just a backdrop; it’s integral to the film’s heart and humor. We also explored classic homes like the “Psycho” house, which has become synonymous with horror.
**Editor**: How do you think these homes impact the audience’s experience of the films or shows they appear in?
**Julie Lasky**: They create a tangible connection. When audiences see these locations, they often remember and relive their emotional responses to the story. The homes serve as triggers for nostalgia, drawing viewers back into their favorite cinematic experiences.
**Editor**: That’s a fascinating perspective! Did you encounter any challenges while making this documentary?
**Julie Lasky**: Definitely. Obtaining rights for footage and interviewing property owners can be complex. But the biggest challenge was honing in on the stories behind the homes. Every location has its own unique narrative that deserves to be told.
**Editor**: What do you hope viewers take away from “The House From …”?
**Julie Lasky**: I hope they gain a deeper appreciation for how these houses influence storytelling and the emotions we feel as viewers. It’s a tribute to the unsung architectural stars of cinema.
**Editor**: It sounds like a compelling watch! Thank you, Julie, for sharing your insights with us today.
**Julie Lasky**: Thank you! I hope everyone enjoys the documentary.
