About this project
COLOR ME OBSESSED is a crazed and crazy look at the only band that ever mattered, THE REPLACEMENTS.
From director Gorman Bechard comes the potentially true story of the most influential, always drunk, self-destructive, and yet frighteningly brilliant rock band of all time as told through the eyes of their fans, followers, and fellow musicians.
Love, hate, obsession, tears, vomit...it might not be the prettiest story ever told, but it certainly rocks.
We’ve got a great cinematographer in Adrian Correia, and a crack production team who are lining up interviews with fans everywhere.
But despite everyone working for no pay, we still need some cash for things like travel (to places like Minneapolis and wherever the story takes us), accommodations, food, expendables, film festival submission fees, and a couple of big hard drives to hold all the digital footage…
Which is why we are we here on KickStarter.
What makes COLOR ME OBSESSED special? Well, for starters, we know how to make features on micro budgets. We have a proven track record. (We are not kids just out of film school talking about making a feature. This is what we do.) This is NOT a waste of your money. The film WILL get made, it WILL play film festivals, and you WILL receive your backer prize.
Just check the official websites for our last two features, YOU ARE ALONE (www.YouAreAlone.com) and FRIENDS (WITH BENEFITS) (www.FWBmovie.com), see the list of awards, read the IMDB reviews for both films, and read the Amazon reviews for YOU ARE ALONE.

NOTE to anyone pledging and getting a DVD screener: These DVDs screeners will be in your hands at least ONE FULL YEAR before the film is made commercially available on DVD! So...rejoice!
