Hey,

The trailer's got material. But I think the old man's acting is bit overboard. And the lion should've been introduced when the old man sounds, "roar"! Would've given a dramatic touch!

And the trailer should have ended at 0:50. Instead another thirty seconds of black screen and titles on them is a bit tiring and kinda takes away all that impression your visuals made!

ANyways, all the best! keep up the good work!

Cheers!

Looking forward to it, the teaser looks phenomenal, and cinematic as well.

I'm happy for you man, great job on getting everything pulled together and done with.
Hope you realize what an accomplishment that is, and then bask in the outcome

Hey thanks a lot!

Hey! Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I actually wanted the old man to be that way. He's supposed to be this energetic and fun dad. In a way, he's trying to impress his son by trying to be "cool". Plus he's a theater actor so that wasn't very hard for him to do.

I agree with the length. I could definitely see it being shorter but it just felt right at the moment.

Thanks again man! Appreciate it.

I will be uploading the main theme of the film composed by Fredrik Lindahl (a fellow indietalker) tomorrow!

I know this is an old thread but just watched your trailer...

I think you've intended this to be a light hearted drama - it actually has more potential as a psychological heavy going drama or even a psychological thriller. I'm serious. I found it quite disturbing, the father's expressions...the editing of the trailer. This could be about the father's decline mentally and it would have a more profound effect. Good job though.

+1 on praise for how it looks, you did a great job with achieving that look.
