Harley, not a bad trailer but its too long. Keep it up to 1 min 30-45 seconds for distributors and SAs. Keep the best performed moments and cut off repetitious scenes. Mix fast and slow pace scenes. What is your next move?
If you route just friend and family that is fine. If you consider to sell to bigger audience and you need to go through SA and distributors there are industry standards.
Harvey, congrats on 11 bids, I guess that trailer worked for those SAs. I just shared what I know about that biz and what worked for me in the past. I worked with top 10 companies and this is their requirement. I hope you will get the best distribution deal possible from those guys. Break a leg.
Thanks,, I know standard formatting but I also know it’s important to draw an audience and make them feel. Distributors often remake Trailers anyways, I felt this was a solid representation of the film to a song that embodies some of the message.

I appreciate that and I wanted the “feel good” to really take that’s why I didn’t mind taking this route

We have 11 bids in on this film and we are 45 days away from completion. Most of the bidding distributors are in the top 250 companies on IMDb

Distributors/SAs will charge you for a new trailer. I just tried to save you some money.
Thanks bud
