Producer-turned-director
Lane Janger also stars in this
sexual comedy of manners about a woman who turns her groom-to-be's sapphic fantasies back on him. Just a few weeks before he's due to be married, fireman
Anthony (
Janger) decides that it's now-or-never time for his fantasy of making love to his fiancée,
Amy (
Joelle Carter), and another woman at the same time. Although she has repeatedly rejected such a scenario, this time an angry
Amy agrees -- as long as
Anthony will make love with her and another man at the same time. Soon, the couple find themselves going on "dates" outside their relationship.
Anthony grudgingly allows
Victor (
Guillermo Diaz), a closeted, inexperienced college student who's had a crush on him since high school, to hang out with him and his firehouse cronies, hoping all the while that
Amy will call his bluff.
Amy, meanwhile, befriends
Victor's pal
Michelle (
Jennifer Esposito), a lesbian furniture maker recovering from a recent breakup.
Anthony's fellow firefighters adjust surprisingly well to their colleague's new friend, but problems ensue when
Amy's expatriate parents show up early for the wedding, interrupting their daughter's tentative experimentation.
Just One Time began its life as an eight-minute short that premiered at the
1998 Sundance Film Festival; it was screened with the feature
Ma Vie En Rose during that film's Canadian theatrical run and was later included in the collection
Boy's Life 3. Principals
Esposito,
Carter, and
Diaz reprise their roles from the short, while
Janger shares screenwriting duties with Columbia film school alumna
Jennifer Vandever in a novel arrangement that allowed them to collaborate on the first act and then split up, with his scribing the second act and her the third.
