DIY Loveseat is a playful experimental short video that reinterprets our family and its identity. In this dark comedy, a woman takes the family couch and cuts out a section with a chainsaw. The husband, in a very deadpan manner, takes duct tape and repairs the couch. This physical act brings them literally closer together but perhaps not emotionally.
