The Trailer Came Today

Earlier this week, I returned to Salisbury for one last visit (side-note: sleeping on a carpeted floor is a bad idea) and took the chance to get a second opinion on whether or not I was safe to release the trailer I prepared last week. Henry was of the opinion that it was probably fine, so I decided to go for it.

There's something scary about releasing the trailer. Sure, I showed my film in its entirety as part of the graduate screening at the beginning of the month, but that was as part of thirty-plus films of equal status. The vast majority of the audience were either in the same boat as me, or there at the request of somebody in the same boat as me. This trailer is the first time I've released any footage on a public forum. If people think it looks terrible, I'm sunk.

That's no reason not to release it, though. If the possibility of people thinking something I've made looks terrible is enough for me to sit on it forever, I'm going into the wrong industry. So with that said, behold the official trailer for "The Devil Came Today", starring Emily Gardner, Joe Mounfield and Gabby Radziejowski:
