aka The Last Word
Synopsis:
When marketing consultant Steven Gold invites near strangers to dinner, his wife Patty helps put their home in order. But she cant do the same for her husband. Just back from a business trip to Chicago, Steve is rattled by encounters with his childhood friend Artie and his overbearing client Peter Hamish. When the alluring Jane and her reticent spouse Fred arrive, the safe shell protecting hosts and guests starts to crumble. Goaded by the women they love and haunted by memories they can no longer suppress, two men confront the lies of their lives. Hilarious and harrowing, Disconnect explores marriage, friendship and passion in the age of telecommunications. With so many flashy new ways to communicate, why are we still so bad at it?

Synopsis:
During an afternoon in the studio of director/cameraman Marcus Gordon, a crew struggles to get two shots for a fast-food commercial about a thick, pink drink. The producer and assistant director, Andrea, is trying to save her boss' slipping reputation. She ignores the objections of property master Jeffrey and permits the creative input of Ron, an earnest entry-level employee. Ron believes in the better possibilities of advertising and engages the others in an escalating debate about how and why we sell and are sold to. His artistic approach to the craft of commerce threatens Jeffrey, infuriates Marcus, yet yields surprising results. Meanwhile, veteran gaffer Oscar and quiet assistant cameraman Dave clash in their separate efforts to tear free from this supposedly creative but ultimately oppressive workplace. Pressures build, tempers flare and egos collide as six American workers fight for their lives and livelihoods.
