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.

The film premiered at the 76th Locarno Film Festival in August 2023, [2] and had its Canadian premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. [3]
The film was named to TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten list for 2023, [4] and received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Live Action Short Film at the 26th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2024. [5]
McKenna previously made another short film about Gerson's struggle with his deteriorating vision, Gerson Workout (2020), for the Greetings from Isolation project. [6]
