(Filmmaker in person)

Interwoven drama spins a web that patterns the lives and relationships of four working-class people in Las Vegas. Seemingly random objects connect themes such as the strands of magnetic tape upon which we record sound and pictures and the abandoned phone booth with its anonymous conversationalist, based on an actual Internet-driven phone booth connection in the desert.
