In/Significant Others Directed by John Schwert, 2010

“In/Significant Others” is a psychological drama that explores lives of one city’s residents- each of whom is connected to the same homicide investigation. The ensemble includes an Iraq War veteran returned home to an emotionally disturbed wife; a new father who’s living in the shadow of his successful older brother; a sister caught up in a web of addiction; and a cameraman who attempts to exploit the reality behind all of their stories, or at least his version of them. The search for truth turns into a life and death struggle as the subtle manipulations behind their relationships are exposed. “In/Significant Others” explores the nature of relationships – the give and take, compromises, controls and manipulations. Subtle or overt, intentional or subconscious, between siblings, spouses, friends, lovers and coworkers, the film exposes abuses, infidelities, secrets and lies.
