Hi, Kaz
It's kinda difficult to provide an opinion on the film when given a trailer.
However, from the trailer provided this looks "interesting".
It has a greenscreen style similar to AIDEN 5.

I'm not so sure about the flipping back and forth though between the green screen and live action, though.
When the camera gets off the tripod the shaky-cam gets pretty bad, and the general transition isn't shucking and jiving, either - unless the story is about reality vs. dream/unreality.
My concern is that the FX will be the biggest draw. The actual story (
95 minutes of it) will have to OUT-compete the FX.
Once your audience gets suckered in, conceptually assimilates the FX, how long will they stay around for the story?
I dunno.
But I see many stories that are killed by technical issues before they're even killed on story-lameness.
I think you might get by the technical issues, so now the concern is on the story which... could cut either way.
And the music is pretty epic sounding, too.
Gotta deliver more than promised in the trailer.
This also reminds me of THE GENE GENERATION, which I didn't care for enough to complete.

The noir stuff is cool and has a great niche following which means they really know their stuff and will nail you on subtleties I haven't the slightest idea about (it ain't my bag).
GL all the same!
