SUMMARY

You Are Alone presents a haunting exploration into just how far a man and woman will go to escape loneliness, if only for an hour. Daphne (Jessica Bohl), a Yale-bound high school senior whose depression has blurred her sense of reality, works as an escort advertising her services online. In a fateful bit of happenstance, her next door neighbor Buddy (Richard Brundage) discovers her as the “entertainment” at his nephew’s bachelor party. With her hidden life precariously hanging in the balance, Daphne agrees to spend one hour with Buddy alone in a hotel room. Initially confrontational, Daphne and Buddy slowly begin to shed their bitter layers of personal disappointment and general cynicism by talking about sex. But behind this teenager's jaded fantasies hides the very essence of heartbreak, acceptance, need, and desire; ironically paralleled by a broken man's desperate attempts to test the limits of her advertised promise to to do anything and everything.

After a decade long sabbatical writing novels, legendary Connecticut based cult director Gorman Bechard (Psychos in Love, Disconnected, Galactic Giglio) returned to filmmaking with You Are Alone; a stripped down, micro-budget MiniDV lensed knockout that utilized an insular cast and a single filming location (New Haven’s storied Duncan Hotel). Lauded by critics as a “Last Tango in New Haven” and featuring a staggering, award-winning performance by lead actress Jessica Bohl (which took the Best Actress award at both the Brooklyn International Film Festival and Indiefest Chicago in 2005), You Are Alone remains a stunning testament to the possibilities of uncompromised, micro-budget video filmmaking as well as an essential cinematic puzzle piece in the oeuvre of one of the nations most captivating and original regional auteurs.
