Handclasp directors produced a short film called ONE BINGE. Eventually we would like to produce a series of at least 5 short films that address the issues at-risk high school and college students face like binge drinking.
The film is at https://youtu.be/ZiHASnNgkt0.
This is a story of a 18-year-old African American college student (Clarissa – Jayda Williams) whose life revolves around the next party. Several times two loyal friends (Ethan Tejedor and JaMarkis Daniels) try to get her to clean up her life, “drinking and drugs are not your friends, you’re messed up for real,” says one of them.” Eventually, she meets a shady character named “J” (Josiah Stewart) who gives her an unnamed pill, “it can be whatever you want it to be, baby” that causes a reaction with her already destroyed liver and she goes into convulsions and dies at the last party. There is a surprise ending – a story of choices.
ONE BINGE was shot at 4K using an iPhone 7 with FilmicPro, a Beastgrip Pro stabilizer and a Moondog Anamorphic Lens. Editing was done on Final Cut Pro X on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.
