Saturday, October 16, 2:00pm When a shy girl, secretly in love with her rocker-grrl housemate, meets an unbalanced heiress on the run, anything could (and does) happen in BRUSH FIRES, the latest production from Chicago-based film group Split Pillow. As the three women negotiate the dangerous relationships among them, the seven women directors weave a sensual tale of suspense. Drawing inspiration from the poem by Jessica Wilbur and the surrealist parlour game, The Exquisite Corpse, each director selected a word or phrase on which to base her segment, and the seven chapters of the film bear their individual marks. The final segment is directed by Seattle’s own Wendy Jo Carlton, who has entertained our audiences for years with her short films, and who now uses her talents to tie together this feature-length work. This impressive experiment in filmmaking emerges as a sensitive tale of young desire, loss, and love’s confusion.
