Brushfires (DVD)

Welcome To The Carnival Of Life

Shy, artistic Cat is secretly in love with Melissa, her rocker girl roommate. But when she meets Dakota, a disturbed, unbalanced heiress with a past, the three are taken on an emotional roller coaster of unrequited love, jealousy and deceit. When Lenny, an unemployed actor, has a steamy, one-night encounter with Dakota he, too, is thrown into the mix of this moving tale of self-discovery.

In Exquisite Corpse cliffhanger style, seven cutting edge directors take inspiration from Jessica Wilbur's poem, and weave the web that entraps the characters. Each segment bears the individual mark of its director, who chose a word or a phrase from the poem as the basis of her chapter. The result is a unique, collage-type portrait of three lives turned upside-down by one woman.
