1st
Session," written and directed by Alain Cloarec, is a feature comedy about the first day at work of a New
York City psychotherapist. It should be a breeze, "I mean, how hard can it be, I'm just
going to sit here and listen to people complain," says Dr. Alan. He's going to help
people and make a lot of money at the same time, and if they complain of his fee, he'll just waive
the portion that the insurance doesn't cover. Unfortunately, inauspicious beginnings arise.
Nine first-time patients on his first day at work. Perhaps he overbooked. Too bad Dr.
Alan didn't go to Law School after all. Shot in 3 days with a 3-person crew using 3 digital
cameras running simultaneously, 1st Session was completely improvised with no rehearsals and
no second takes. The director, Alain Cloarec, gave absolute freedom to his actors. After the smoke
cleared: 25 hours of footage, 3 editors & 6 months of post-production. The film premiered in Dec
2001 Jan
2002.
