In spaces designed to be merely tolerated, a group of people engage in a series of uncanny and disconnected interactions. “This Could Be Heaven,” directed by Hope Green, uses a surreal framework to turn the mundane into the miraculous via office buildings, supermarket parking lots, dollar store aisles, and industrial construction sites.

Sound Recording and Production Assistance: Megan Hill, Jasiel Lampkin, Cat McCarthy.
