9 Weeks hopes to be a movie which presents portraits of performers, artists, and radicals in their living and work surrounding, using archival footage, home videos of acts, and current video interviews -- creating a multifaceted portrait of a unique town and it's remarkable inhabitants. Like the gray luminous clouds and old decrepit; yet beautiful buildings of downtown Olympia, 9 weeks offers an insight to a vision of community forged in a dead end logging and state capital of Washington. Individuals fighting to keep their community alive: performers, radicals, and artists barely getting by.
