11:11

"11:11" is an ensemble piece set amid a depressed factory town in Pennsylvania. It’s the type of place where no one leaves and it’s rare to see an unfamiliar face. Maggie, an angst filled aspiring actress, is tormented by her affection for her deceased sister’s boyfriend. Mark, a somber mechanic and musician, anguishes over his loss and is oblivious to the world around him. Savannah, a hopeful teacher with an innate sense of looking at the clock at precisely 11:11, recently moved to town to care for her ailing father. The evening of daylight savings time, Savannah and Mark serendipitously meet and the universe begins to shift into place. Lynn, Savannah’s friend and outspoken attorney, never falters when it comes to men, until she meets one she can’t have. Andy, an alcoholic and unemployed factory worker, feels completely isolated in his home life. Adrienne, Andy’s bitter wife and prior French scholar, resents him for getting her pregnant not being able to fulfill her dreams.

Regardless of the varying ages and life stages of these residents, they are all interconnected. One commonality binds them together; unhappiness with their situations. Many wish every opportunity given for their lives to improve, but lack the effort to make it happen. Others, however, realize they must be proactive in order to get what they want. After all, what do luck and wishes mean if you aren’t proactive to make them come true? Death is inevitable and unpredictable; therefore life is too short to not do what you want with it. Do it now while you still have the time. If you allow the clock to keep ticking and don't initiate change, it could be too late.
