Instead of trying to show an audience that our world is unjust, unequal, and that that is fundamentally wrong (which nearly everyone knows to be true, but is unwilling to sacrifice what they have to resolve), Seven Days presents a simple experience of a foundational truth: That we all begin equally innocent, and it is the causes and conditions that surround our growth, birth, and life in this world that make us who we are.
Seems a simple enough logic most would agree with, but to say that any one of us could just as easily be any other one of us, suddenly things are no longer as simple as we wish they could be. To accept that, we must sacrifice ego, and embrace a culture of forgiveness rather than blame. Is there any conflict present today that isn’t at its core a fundamental incongruity with this base logic?
Seven Days, our first feature length project, is simple. Executed with a tiny crew, on a meager budget of just $40,000, it is not a solution to society's greatest conflicts but one experience, where for an hour and forty minutes you can disappear into seven possibilities for one soul. It’s an anthology of seven women, all played by one actress, and each woman refuses simple definition. There is no one side too strong or weak, good or bad, free or bound. A homeless teacher, wealthy housewife, single mother, social activist, polyamorist, sex worker, and same-sex partner. There are infinite possibilities before, and after. These are just Seven Days.
