A short film, filmed in the Dolphin House flat complex in south inner city Dublin over the course of the Dolphin House Family Fun Day on August 20th, 2025. Residents young and old spoke about their hopes for the future of Dolphin House in response to the following prompt:

If you could travel 10 years into the future, what would be your hopes for life in Dolphin House?

This film was created as part of the Yup the Flats! Project: A sociological exploration of life in dolphin house led by Dr Joe Whelan as part of a collaboration between Dolphin House Community Development Association and Trinity College Dublin.

This film was directed by Joe Whelan with help from Ruby Stein. It was produced by Michelle Stensby with videography by Renan Fernandes and editing by Andrew Holohan.
