“Something Like Loneliness,” which premiered at SXSW in March, is about upstairs-downstairs neighbors Dan and Mia. They’ve never met, but the thin floor between them offers its own kind of intimacy.

“Last year I decided to turn a little play about Tupperware called ‘Something Like Loneliness’ into a short film,” wrote Seth on Facebook. “We created something unique, funny, magical, sensitive, and most of all a kind film.”
