This is the teaser trailer for my first feature film project, Madelline. I'm the writer, director, cinematographer, and editor. It's the story of a girl who is trying to deal with the daily struggles of depression and social anxiety, and the loneliness and isolation that they bring.
I started writing at the beginning of October, we started shooting Oct 21, and finished Jan 21. I've been editing non-stop ever since.
This is just a teaser trailer, released when we were still in the middle of shooting. (I don't think we had even shot a single dialogue scene yet). I was just hoping to give a taste of the look and feel of the film. I'm planning to put together another trailer later that has dialogue and more story elements.
I've been making films off and on since 2002. I've done plenty of narrative shorts, experimental shorts, and short documentaries, but this is my first attempt at something even remotely close to this big.
