It is playing on IFC This month .
Told entirely through the perspective of hidden surveillance cameras placed and manipulated by a stalker (Colin Hanks), ALONE WITH HER is the harrowing story of a disturbed young man’s attempts to win the affections of an unsuspecting young woman as she becomes the object of his obsession and ceaseless gaze.
For writer/director Eric Nicholas, the idea for ALONE WITH HER originated a couple of years ago when he stumbled across a website selling inexpensive spy equipment to the general public. He went on to discover countless similar sites, as well as retail spy shops across America and Europe. He was stunned to learn that anyone with $100 and a particular impulse could, in theory, secretly watch or listen to anyone else.
“This terrifying potential for invasion of individual privacy drove me to write ALONE WITH HER. As a director, I was set on creating a new kind of movie experience that feels completely real and voyeuristic. To that end, we shot the entire film through the stalker’s hidden cameras, through his eyes. From first frame to last, we the audience, are in the stalker’s shoes, and in a way, complicit in everything he does.”
