Two friends plan an intimate new years party to impress some girls but their plans are wrecked when an unexpected guest arrives...uh-oh!
This film is based on a play I wrote in high school called Open Your Eyes, which was entered into the school's drama festival and won nine awards. Originally written as a film, at the time I didn't have the experience to tell the story that way so I changed it to a stage play, only to be re-written as a film once again four years later. This was one of the best experiences I've had working on a film because not only did we shoot the whole thing in one location, everyone in the cast was great to work with! It seemed every night we filmed was a little party of our own and we always had a good time.
Another reason why this film is so special is because it was our first big premiere. On July 27, 2007 we screened One Night in front of a sold out theatre of 250 guests. It was a great turn out and it made us realize the potential Reel Films had to a broader audience.
On top of that it was entered into the YoungCuts Film Fest in Montreal in 2008. One Night will always be special to me, even more than I intended because of the people who were involved...happy new year!
That was beautiful Markie
