Nine Lives (): VIDEOS

NINE LIVES is a provocative film debut from writer/director Dean Howell and writer, Michael Kearns (INTIMACIES, T-CELLS & SYMPATHY, ROCK). A cross between Schnitzler's LA RONDE and Altman's SHORT CUTS, we zoom in on nine individuals whose lives intersect- emotionally, sexually and dangerously over the course of one day. It begins with Ronnie, over-the-top and just about over the hill, he waxes on about his love affairs, past and present, including his new life as "HOTPOZDAD" @ aol.com. Introspective drug dealer, Mikey, has a casual infatuation with a sexy hustler, Bo, while trying to provide for his mentally challenged younger brother. A menage-a-trois between Daniel, a Television producer, Corey, his hunky boyfriend and their pool boy, Carlos, threatens to go completely out of control while Lisa and her perpetually late husband, Ralph, prepare for their first child. The story comes full circle when Lisa gets an unexpected phone call and must face her own inevitable fate. A voyeuristic peek at lives that may be more like yours than you think, NINE LIVES will grab you with its graphic sexuality and heartfelt performances. It's a film about love and loss and the private fears and hopes we all share. We are connected in more ways than we may think and life goes on...no matter how harsh and no matter what the consequences may bring.
