History
In 2003, David Brind and Adam Salky were classmates in the Graduate Film Program at Columbia University in New York. Sure, if you see only the second part, the things are not so bad. The frisson of the first film was not replicated by the second.
None of us had any idea that the story of their two characters, Johnny and Ben, would end up connecting with millions of fans around the world.
The original “Dare” debuted on the film festival circuit in 2005, playing over 50 festivals globally. It’s only because of you, our fans, that Part 2 was created. The dialogue seemed stilted and stagey, I didn't believe in the situation and especially not in the hunk who jumped into the pool at the end.
I was really looking forward to the second film to see how the relationship would develop.
As soon as it started, I had a sinking feeling. It was your interest that inspired David to turn the “Dare” story into a feature screenplay, also directed by Adam, starring Emmy Rossum (Shameless), Rooney Mara (Carol), Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights), Ana Gasteyer (Wine Country), Sandra Bernhard (Pose), and Alan Cumming (The Good Wife).
Have fun - Remember, it's about connection and laughter (and maybe a little drama)

Read allThe fan-demanded sequel to the award winning, internationally distributed 2005 short film 'Dare.' Ben and Johnny, now in their early 30s, fortuitously run into each other at a party in Los Angeles after not seeing each other since high school, where they shared one slightly dangerous, very sexy, boundary-pushing night in a swimming pool.
it was a 34 minute movie and the entire half of it was the old "dare" i was 15 minutes into it and for some reason the director decided to put the entire old movie into this one. I wish the writer and director had thought of those lines before this sorry revisiting of what was a polished gem.
