I Used to Live There is a 2023 Canadian short drama film written, directed, produced, and edited by Ryan McKenna.
Blending documentary-style filmmaking with fictional elements, the film stars Daniel Gerson and Monika Schneider as semi-fictionalized versions of themselves, and focuses on the relationship between a photographer who is losing his vision due to a degenerative eye disease and the actress who hired him to take her new headshots.
