10 Lives

Human communication is a thorny endeavor. No matter what our messages are, no matter how difficult it is to get them across, we all share one desire: to be understood. But what happens when we aren't understood? 10 Lives features four segments of directed improvisation that investigate a few of the ways people argue. In Babble, a young literary couple masks true feelings with metaphor. Abuse features a young woman's descent into domestic violence. Familial love and support is put to the test in Discourse. The film ends with Silence; an introspective tale that unfolds after words are no longer useful.
