Written and Directed by: Bryden MacDonald

Divinity Bash / nine lives is a non-linear epic tale centring around one man's descent through the cracks of society into the underworld of a major city. It is a gritty poetic odyssey, funny in the darkest, richest way. Giving distinct and colourful voices to the disenfranchised, Divinity Bash bashes space and time with its unconventional structure, bypassing sentimentality, proving a mystical urban roller coaster ride that speaks directly to our condition as human beings, in this new and rapidly evolving (or dissolving?) century.
