Choices

Who has time to sit around watching hour-long soap operas on TV these days? Even as a child wandering through the room while grownups sat glued to them back in the day, I was bored and baffled by how much time elapsed in which so little happened. The "flash" webisode structure of CHOICES ingeniously solves both these problems for the information-overload age, raising the bar on plot structure and dialogue in the process. With each webisode only 10 minutes long, they've GOT to be tightly written in order to set the scene, establish characters in conflict, and raise the stakes so viewers care about what happens enough to watch the next webisode. 19th-century novelists spent hundreds of pages weaving together converging plot threads into sweeping social panoramas. Tune into CHOICES for a riveting display of writer/director Olu Gittens' modern-day mastery of this craft, as characters from all walks of life cross paths at a 21st-century pace.
