The Big Sky Owners Association recently held their annual member meeting. What’s the best and worst part of belonging to an HOA?
Margo Magnant Big Sky, Montana
“The best part of being in an HOA is all of the stuff that they take care of for me like shoveling and snow plowing. They also clean out my gutters and clean my fireplace once a year, which is really important to me. The worst part is probably the additional money every couple months that we have to pay. But for me it’s mostly worth it.”
Bayard Dominick Big Sky, Montana
“I think the best part of living in an HOA is that the HOA is responsible for managing the upkeep and the maintenance of the neighborhood so it takes some of the burden off individual homeowners in terms of making sure the neighborhood stays nice. The downside of living in the neighborhood is sometimes they don’t like me having my drift boat parked in the driveway and they want me to move it after three days and it would be nice if I had a little more flexibility.”
Ben Coleman BigSky, Montana
“The best part about being in a home owners’ association is that they’re going to help maintain the value of your property collectively. The worst thing: your neighbors may not let you do what you want to do.”
Mary Carlson Lakewood, Colorado
“You’ve got to have a management company and people that are watching the grounds that are making sure if there’s a problem that it’s taken care of. They manage the pool; they get the roads plowed—all that stuff. Although I think it’s pricey, it’s just what we got to have.”

My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
