Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Life Times Nine is a 1973 short film (15 minutes) directed by...take a deep breath...Paul Shapiro, Melissa Franklin, Robi Blumenstein, Jordon Hale, Ricky Clark, Celia Merkur, Kimmie Jensen, Andy File, and Marilyn Becker.A group called Insight Productions developed a project in cooperation with a Toronto high school. Nine kids, ages 11 to 16, were chosen to be directors of micro-short film segments, each having to do with the theme of life. The idea was that each film would be done in the style of a commercial advertising "life" as a product. Each child wrote their own script and exercised creative control, although they were helped in the actual production of the film by grownups. The result is a collection of very different micro-shorts: a boy makes a drawing of a dove which becomes a real dove, a fake commercial has a man trying to sell a tank, a dead guy who rises out of his grave tries to talk his cemetery buddy into rising from the dead with him, and more.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One of the kids, Paul Shapiro, went on to a long career as a director in television.

Anthology Film: One of the shortest ever, as a bunch of kids made nine different micro-short films about the beauty of life.

Art Initiates Life: The first micro-short has a boy drawing a dove on a sheet of paper. The dove promptly comes to life and flies away after the boy chucks it out the window.

Back from the Dead: A dead guy comes back to life in a cemetery and tries to get his buddy to rise from the grave as well. The second dead guy resists various temptations (eating a fine meal, playing golf, dancing) but when the first guy suggests hanging out with two pretty girls they know, the second guy happily rises.

Art Shift: Most of the shorts are live-action but one is a cartoon with chess pieces on a chess board.
