Petschnig started to record his life and struggle, his thoughts and routines, over the course of a year. Uncomfortably Comfortable is an experimental video portrait that addresses the mounting NYC housing crisis, incarceration, trauma and racism, but also talks about friendship and life on the fringes of society.
