Trailer - Not

Nobody has commented on the trailer on Youtube (linked last post), yet I can tell that it has been viewed, so I can only assume this means that YOU TOO think it was awful.

My "second opinion" gave me a little feedback, and the third opinion never responded.

Trying to get feedback on this trailer has made me realize how out of touch I am with all the film people I used to know.  Hmph.

So I brought the trailer with me last night to my "Artists and Writers" monthly group (at the Quaker meeting, in fact, where we shot the worship scene) -- in which none of the other participants are the slightest bit narrative-film-oriented, but they like to be helpful, so what the heck?

In sum:  they thought is was too long and too confusing. They told me which clips they thought were most compelling. 

So there you go.

I am starting over.

Blah.

Oh, also, I mentioned a few updates ago that someone else was going to be helping out with a scene -- for which I splurged my $27 to get a 6-mo MediaFire account -- and now it seems as if that's not happening either.  D'oh!

IF I JUST HAD $5,000 I COULD PAY SOMEONE TO FINISH THIS FRICKING THING.

But -- onward we go.
