FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 14, 2005 YOU ARE ALONE featuring TALENTED MANAGERS’ JESSICA BOHL named BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE at the 2005 Northampton Independent Film Festival!
NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT: YOU ARE ALONE, Gorman Bechard’s dark feature-length drama starring TALENTED MANAGERS’ JESSICA BOHL, was named BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE at the 2005 Northampton Independent Film Festival in Northampton, Massachusetts. The feature from New Haven-based What Were We Thinking Films has already taken home four other film festival awards: the Best-of-Fest VISION AWARD at IndieFest Chicago, lead actress TALENTED MANAGERS’ JESSICA BOHL has been named BEST ACTRESS twice (at IndieFest Chicago and at the Brooklyn International Film festival, where the film had its world premiere), IndieFest Chicago also awarded the film BEST SCREENPLAY! When playing the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival in Birmingham, Alabama, YOU ARE ALONE was the only narrative feature to receive an encore screening!
“Northampton had an amazing line-up this year,” Bechard said, “and to be singled out at one of my favorite festivals is an honor.” Despite making his home in New Haven, Bechard added that he considers Northampton his hometown/local film festival, as it offers the “best programming without having to drive to New York or Boston.” The film, which has been dubbed “last tango in New Haven” by New England Film, is a haunting and tragic tale of loss and depression, filmed largely at the historic Hotel Duncan in downtown New Haven, Connecticut.
What Were We Thinking Films currently has two films in development, both slated to be filmed in and around New Haven. One is based on Bechard’s controversial first novel, the cult-classic THE SECOND GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD (also featuring TALENTED MANAGERS’ JESSICA BOHL), which tells the tale of God sending his quirky and rambunctious Daughter to save the planet, and the complications that quickly arise.
