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.

Reviews

You Are Alone

"A blind buy or should I write I was compelled by the artwork, found out it was made by Gorman Bechard so I knew it had to bee good. Psychos in Love, Disconnected and now this. Impressive performance from Jessica Bohl and great performance as the neighbour by Richard Brundage. Highly recommended."

— Hansi L. (5/5)

Another Great Saturns Core Flick!

"I really love Saturn's Core films, and this release was no exception! It has excellent acting, good drama and left me wanting to see more! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

— Paul K. (5/5)

You are alone

"Not bad for a small budget indie flick but don't expect hi-octane action or intrigue. Basically, it's about a woman and a man in a room spraying and splattering depression over each other and themselves in this slow burn drama. Creepy vibes but nothing you can't handle."

— Shariar A. (4/5)

Compelling Drama

"The story is very interesting. It has DIY charm that I find fascinating. Recommended."

— Jeffrey L. (4/5)

Saturn Core

"This was a sleeper hit!! So glad I saw this. It was pretty deep."

— Justin M. (5/5)

You are Alone

"Super impressive, low budget drama from one of my favorite directors. Killer ending."

— Erich H. (5/5)

Suspenseful Drama with Sexual Overtones

"A low-budget twist on Last Tango in Paris with a touch of American Beauty. Centers on a male and attractive female protagonist going through tough times dealing with love and loss. The slipcover and the reversible sleeve cover looks real nifty"

— Kresh R. (4/5)

You Are Alone

"The film’s minimalism and raw performances emphasize isolation, though its pacing can feel uneven."

— Pierre-Yves L. (3/5)

Love it

Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
