Seven Short Films About (Our) Marriage

Noah is an up-and-coming artist with big plans and big debt. Meanwhile, his better half Madison sacrificed her own dreams for the convenience of a less than satisfying 9-5. While she grows resentful of her role as the relationship breadwinner, Noah’s doubts escalate as he contemplates his chances of making it big. Complementing these struggles are the inevitable challenges they face as an interracial couple in a very fresh marriage. As these lovers alternate between bickering and making up, their layered history together seems to be the one constant thing in an overwhelming, ever-changing climate. Shot through a series of heart-felt vignettes, the film zooms in on the messy intricacies that make up the highs, lows, and in-betweens of an authentic, modern-day marriage. (Cinequest Festival)
