CGiii Comment
The only thing that stops this from being an absolute stinker is the use of incense sticks throughout - but, even those sweet-smelling sticks cannot mask the simple fact that this is, indeed, a stinker of a film.
With 7 directors - it would have been prudent to sack 6 of them - and then, the pong may not have been so odious.

The(ir) Blurb...
When a shy girl, secretly in love with her rocker-grrl housemate, meets an unbalanced heiress on the run, anything could (and does) happen in BRUSHFIRES, the latest production from Chicago-based film group Split Pillow. As the three women negotiate the dangerous relationships among them, the seven women directors weave a sensual tale of suspense. Drawing inspiration from the poem by Jessica Wilbur and the surrealist parlour game, The Exquisite Corpse, each director selected a word or phrase on which to base her segment, and the seven chapters of the film bear their individual marks. This impressive experiment in filmmaking emerges as a sensitive tale of young desire, loss, and love's confusion.
