My name is Edward. Thompson. My apartment room closet has a roof that is big enough for me to lay on. I want to film a short video of me laying on the closet roof. PLEASE NOTE: All I need is a 6 feet tall person to use my phone to film the video because you must be tall enough to film it without standing on something. The film is called "The Rooftop Within". Sometimes, the smallest spaces hold the biggest worlds. That idea has been sitting with me for a while — and it's what inspired this film. It started with something simple: the closet in my apartment. Above it, there's this flat surface — technically the "roof" of the closet — that's just big enough to lie on. It's not glamorous or cinematic at all. But every time I looked at it, I wondered: what if that space led somewhere else? What if, instead of being a forgotten shelf of dust and storage, it was a doorway to something small, secret, and magical? That's where the story begins. In the film, I find a ladder leading up through my closet. I climb it, expecting nothing more than a bit of dust — but instead, I discover a tiny new world: plants, soft lights, maybe a miniature table. It's quiet, glowing, and strangely alive. It feels like an entire world condensed into a few square feet. The idea is part fantasy, part introspection. The Rooftop Within isn't about escaping to a distant realm like Narnia — it's about finding hidden worlds in our own homes, and in ourselves. It's about rediscovering wonder in the domestic, the everyday, the overlooked. Thematically, it plays with scale and imagination — how we build emotional universes in confined spaces, how isolation can turn into exploration. The closet becomes both a literal and metaphorical threshold: between the visible and the unseen, the ordinary and the extraordinary. Visually, I want to treat the rooftop like a miniature greenhouse or a small sanctuary. Warm fairy lights, gentle shadows, maybe a faint hum of the city outside. The camera will linger — quietly observing, almost like it stumbled upon a secret it shouldn't have found. Ultimately, The Rooftop Within is a reminder that wonder doesn't require distance. Sometimes, the most magical place you can go is just a few feet above where you stand — if you're willing to climb.
