Top of PageScenes from Life As We Live it Now
Synopsis:
a mix of genuine headlines and comedy sketches. the headlines are funny, insane and really real -- every one of them previously published in serious publications. the sketches are surreal. Maybe uber-real. A neighborhood is destroyed when two men marry. A man falls victim to a nightmarish system when he is taken by ambulance to an emergency room. Two would-be entrepreneurs open a private prison in their basement and discover that knotty pine walls do not a prison make. God calls on the cell phone and violence ensues. there is an all too contemporary love story
