About this project

Even though we've made our goal, please still consider giving so we can make 10% over our goal and pay for rewards shipping and credit card fees!  Thank you!!!

FOURPLAY is a feature film anthology of four short tales about sexual intimacy. This film expresses an unconventional understanding of human sexuality--its complications and idiosyncrasies--with humor, sincerity, and love.
 
We believe sex on film should be more than just titillation, pornography, or digression. We hope that these stories--by turns comedic, surreal, tender, and harrowing--will challenge you, entertain you, subvert your notions of normal sexual behavior, and provide you with a lot to think and talk about.
 
Stand-alone shorts from the film have already garnered attention and accolades. FOURPLAY: SAN FRANCISCO, which premiered at LA's Outfest Film Festival, won a special Iris Prize commendation and Best Short at NYC's Newfest Film Festival. FOURPLAY: TAMPA, which world premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, is playing at this year's Sundance Film Festival!!!
 
With this, our last Kickstarter campaign for the project, you will help finance the remaining post-production on the film and pay for a major festival debut: our best chance for wider distribution. FOURPLAY already has been funded in part by grants from the Austin Film Society's Texas Filmmakers Production Fund, Jim McKay and Michael Stipe's artist-incubator C-Hundred Film Corp, and three previously successful Kickstarter campaigns. 
 
The film is produced by Jason Wehling, executive produced by Michael Stipe and Jim McKay, written by Carlos Treviño and Jessica Hedrick, photographed by PJ Raval, production designed by Caroline Karlen, and edited by David Fabelo and Rita K. Sanders.  It stars Sara Sevigny, Danielle Rene, Atticus Rowe, Jose Villarreal and Paul Soileau.
