After starting a painting business right before the housing crash, a filmmaker drives over 35,000 miles to track down the people who saw it coming and look back at the causes of not just this bubble, but the great depression and 1970's.

Co-written by NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods, The Housing Bubble is a critical, non-partisan examination of the policies and events that shaped the United States economy into one bursting bubble after another. Traveling the world for answers after starting a painting business just in time for the housing crash, filmmaker Jimmy Morrison drove 35,000 miles to track down the people who saw it coming, seeking to understand the root causes, so that we can avoid being blindsided by the bigger bubbles and the inevitable crises that follow. Informative, eye-opening, fresh, funny, and occasionally shocking, The Housing Bubble skillfully demystifies the boom/bust link between the stock market, the FED, and the housing market for the economist and layperson alike. Released as a feature in 2019, the film is the beginning of a trilogy with The Fall of 2008 coming out in 2024 and The Bigger Bubble coming out in 2025.—Let Us Disagree Films
