Fightfuckpray is the story of seven individuals whose lives intensely intersect at a party on New Year's Eve. Walker, Cass, and Ethan are everything male. It's Walker's first day out jail, and this inseparable, charged trio plans to celebrate in style – drinks, drugs, and animal intensity. Ben is a hermit, but, insists his cousin Ringo, it's New Year's Eve, and he'll have to come out of his shell. Meanwhile there's Kate, unhappily engaged, and yet feeling her biological clock tick, she's reaching a crisis in her life that maybe only someone like Ben would understand. Rebecca returns home to find her husband David dead. As the characters meet through tragedy, comedy, and violence, bits and pieces of their personal drives and purposes are revealed. They come out the other end of the night self-aware, bruised, exhausted, and ready to begin again.

The title alone has established some notoriety. The process involved in it's creation, improvised and shot under three directors, has also earned a good amount of buzz. And that is something that the creators establish during the credits, along with a dedication to John Cassavettes, who could be considered the father of independent and improvised film. The three stories featuring seven characters starts off a bit awkwardly. However, once the ensemble arrives at the climatic New Year's Eve party, the film just rocks! This party is the epitome of nearly every drunken revelry and embarrassment that one has probably been a part of. It is funny and painful. Eventually, to highten the drama, it does become nightmarish. The exceptionally rough technical aspects (handheld video and rough sound) takes some time to adapt to. (I found myself needing to see it from the last row.) However, once the film gets rolling, it is an exceptional experience. http://jaycbird.blogspot.com
