About this project

I love making movies. I love telling stories. Captivating audiences, frightening them, turning them on, giving them a new way to look at their lives, their fixations, their fears.

What I’m not so fond of is trying to raise the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed today to make a low budget feature.

That’s why I’ve gotten together some of the best craftspeople I’ve collaborated with over the past many years to work for free on what we all consider to be a great script. We have full access to a RED camera package (with acclaimed cinematographer Adrian Correia), a Final Cut Pro editing suite, amazing actors (the film will star Lynn Mancinelli and Alex Brown), crew, musicians to score. And me, Gorman Bechard, the writer/director.

But despite everyone working for no pay, we still need some cash for things like travel, accommodations, food, expendables, film festival submission fees, and a couple of big hard drives to hold all the RED footage…the things that just don’t come for free. We’ve already got $2,500 in the bank. But need another $7,500 to make this film a reality.

What makes ONE NIGHT STAND 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 prizes.

Just check the official websites for our last two features, YOU ARE ALONE (www.YouAreAlone.com) and FRIENDS (WITH BENEFITS) (www.FWBmovie.com), watch the trailers, see the list of awards, read the IMDB reviews for both films, and read the Amazon reviews for YOU ARE ALONE.

Or visit my website: www.GormanBechard.com. (Though you can read a short version of my bio in my KickStarter profile.)

As for the ONE NIGHT STAND website...work has just begun. The poster is up. More will follow soon. www.ONSmovie.com

Then there’s the story itself. Here’s a SYNOPSIS of ONE NIGHT STAND: A young woman using sex with strangers to ease the loneliness in her life finds herself at the wrong end of a one night stand. Discovering that she has been secretly videotaped for a popular voyeuristic porn site, she turns the tables on her pickup, holding him captive in his own bedroom, making him live through the same indignities he’s inflicted on his video subjects, brutalizing him and his friends, as she ultimately decides if he should live or die. (WGA registered)

We plan to shoot ONE NIGHT STAND during the first quarter of 2010. Help us make that happen…by getting involved in a ONE NIGHT STAND.
