There are infinite possibilities of circumstances one can be born into, and what persons can become.
Seven Days is an anthology of seven women, all played by one actress, and each woman refuses simple definition.
There is no one side too strong or weak, good or bad, free or bound. A homeless teacher, wealthy housewife, single mother, social activist, polyamorist, sex worker and same-sex partner.
There are infinite possibilities before, and after.
These are just Seven Days.
Director Corey Kupfer
Director's Statement:
Instead of trying to show an audience that our world is unjust, unequal, and that that is fundamentally wrong (which everyone knows to be true, but that almost no one is willing to sacrifice what they have to resolve), Seven Days presents a simple experience of a foundational truth.
That we all begin equally innocent, and it is the causes and conditions that surround our growth, birth and life in this world that makes us who we are, seems a simple enough logic most would agree to. But then to say that what that means is any one of us could just as easily be any other one of us, suddenly things are no longer as simple as we wish they could be. Because that understanding would require less ego, and self, and a culture of forgiveness rather than blame. Is there any conflict present today that isn’t at its core a fundamental incongruity with this base logic?
Seven Days, my first feature film, is simple. Executed with a tiny crew, on a meager budget, it is not a solution to society's greatest conflicts but one experience, where for an hour and forty minutes you can disappear into seven possibilities for one soul. There are infinite possibilities before, and after; these are just Seven Days.
