Raiff shot a short film version ofShithouseentitledMadeleine & Cooperduring his undergrad spring break in 2018.
Raiff re-wrote the script, and they re-shot the film on a small budget with professional actors.
Many shots from the film are actually on the Occidental campus.

The result is a poignant story about therollercoaster of college lifethat doesn’t glamorize any of it.
There is also asolid dose ofintentional cringe.
In response, Alex proceeds to like every single one of Maggie’s Instagram posts.
But thanks to Raiff, we get to remember how embarrassing it was.
The effect is thatit feels like we are watching someone’s journal entry come to life.
For all its awkward humor,Shithousedefinitely has an emotional core.
