Your Thanksgiving Weekend Viewing: Natural Victims Trailer
Thanksgiving weekend brings, in the US at least, good food, family and low internet usage. (As well it should.) So the trailer for Natural Victims could hardly be more ill-timed. But I just finished it last night and am too excited to wait.
A trailer is the most important piece of marketing for a film, bar none. And, dang, do I have a new-found respect for people who cut them! It actually took longer for me to cut the trailer than to edit the whole #2wkfilm.
It does look a lot more polished, since I was able to cut it until I finally got sick of cutting it; as opposed to the Two Week Film, where I was racing against a hard deadline.
If you haven't yet watched Natural Victims, hopefully this trailer has gotten you excited to do so. So grab some turkey and some stuffing and kick back and watch the whole movie. It's only an hour and five minutes, and at the moment it's still free.

How long does it take to make a movie? Six months in pre-production? Six weeks’ shooting? Six years for a writer to dream it all up in the first place? How about 30 days? That’s the challenge a group of three young L.A. filmmakers have set themselves. Their aim is to make a 90 minute feature film – from initial concept to production – in just one month. Start date, November 20th, 2009. Here is their website that is documenting their progress day by day. http://www.30dayfeaturefilmchallenge.com – check out the current dream team in just 8 days.
