I Need (film)
I Need (or I Need a Man) is a 1967 American drama film about a disturbed teenager.[2][3] It was the first movie from Beverly and Fred Sebastian who self financed it for $7,000 and filmed it around Houston. The Sebastians distributed the films themselves and managed to recoup their money, launching their careers.[1][4] [5] PremiseA woman is assaulted and becomes a nymphomaniac. Cast
ProductionThe credited writer "Ann Cawthorne" was a pseudonym for Beverly Sebastian.[6] Ferd Sebastian later said "Like in most of our films we did all the work. But in that one I mean all, there was only the two of us and the cast which was about 4 people."[7] ReceptionFerd Sebastian said "it is the only picture we ever made in black and white and that was too artsy... it has a little sex and it has a little of this but it's very artsy. It looks like a Fellini film or something."[8] The Sebastians said the film was not making money in cinemas until a distributor bought the film, and created a poster using a still from the movie where a woman looks like she is having sex, then added the log line "I need a man." This was a successful technique although the Sebastians recognised it misrepresented the film.[8] A 1993 article said the film had made several hundred thousand dollars.[9] References
