Since I'm new here this was the first I've seen of the preview. Looks good! If a screening ever gets to the Chicago area I would definitely go check it out.
Curious... what did you shoot on?
Thanks...my fingers are crossed for a Chicago screening this summer. I will post it, if it happens.
We shot on a DXV100a. Nice little camera.
And if you want to see more (like the original trailer, a hidden behind-the-scene clip, LOTS of fun stuff) definitely check out the film's site: http://www.youarealone.com

Please do. I definitely want to see this.
Nice. We're using two DVX100a cameras for a horror feature we're doing this fall. Can't wait to use the camera as I've never had the opportunity to use it. Footage looks good! Did you shoot 24p?
Thunderclap said:
Yes, 24p 16x9
And we also shot two camera most of the time.
One note (learn from my mistake)...if you don't already, make sure you have a dedicated b-camera operator...someone who JUST does that. We passed the B-cam around from the first AC, to both me and my co-producer. Never again...B-cam ends up being so important when cutting.
Also...remember to use those extra audio tracks on B...send it a hotter level...you never know when you're gonna need it.
The website looks great and the trailer and visuals is awesome. Best of luck with it. I hope to see it some day.
YOU ARE ALONE nabs Best Actress award in Brooklyn
I knew if we'd get anything, this would be it.
Quite pleased!

JESSICA BOHL NAMED BEST ACTRESS AT BROOKLYN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT & BROOKLYN, NEW YORK: Jessica Bohl was named BEST ACTRESS at the 8th annual Brooklyn International Film Festival for her stunning portrayal of a high school-aged escort in director/screenwriter Gorman Bechard’s YOU ARE ALONE.
The film, a haunting and tragic tale of loss and depression, which takes a look at how far people will go to relieve loneliness, even if only for an hour, was filmed largely at the historic Hotel Duncan in downtown New Haven, Connecticut. One of only 14 narrative features selected at Brooklyn from 1750 entries, YOU ARE ALONE had its world premiere on June 9th.
Taking a non-judgmental look at Daphne’s secret world, and the games she’s willing to play for a price — “We’re going to play a round of SNAP! Pick a bracelet. Pull it hard,” is how she starts most of her sessions, offering up a wrist covered in colorful jelly bracelets, each color representing a different sexual act — YOU ARE ALONE was called “an extraordinary film,” by David Kleiler, director of the Boston Underground Film Festival, who went on to add that Daphne was “brilliantly performed” by Bohl.
“I knew right away Jessica was perfect for the part,” said Bechard, on taking a chance on the first time actress. “We worked for months developing the dialog, making her character come to life.”
Said Bohl of the role, “Gorman’s direction, vision, and attention to detail allowed me to explore and play a part that was so drastically opposite from my own life.”
Next up on the film festival circuit for the 84 minute feature is IndieFest Chicago in late July.

Hi Gorman. I wanted to let you know that we've revamped the Bethel Film Festival website. I think you'll find it much easier to use and navigate. And yes, we now have a very simple CONTACT US link at the bottom of every page. Thanks for your suggestions. Carol Rose

Carol...it's a thousand times better. Very nice.
One thing that doesn't seem to be working is the Download a printable (PDF) entry form here link. (It just brings you back to the same page you're already clicking.) You need that one fixed pronto!
I honestly still haven't decided in regards to YOU ARE ALONE, as I usually never submit to first year fests.
But the site certainly is making me think harder about it!
I do wish you offered a 50% discount to CT filmmakers as many fests do to filmmakers in their home state. (Hint, hint) That would honestly seal the deal for me.
But...yes...the new site looks great!

Just to let everyone know...I popped up our new and much longer trailer in the screening room section. Go check it out and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Nothing yet scheduled for CA...though we're out to a few fests in that area, have yet to hear. I'll post it when I do!
