Trailer: I Am A Great Man
This is a trailer for the film I have a short cameo in. It's a fairly low budget movie, but judging from the clips they showed me on Sunday I reckon it could be quite a success if they can get the distribution right.
Click HERE to take part in a one question poll which asks if you would go to see I AM A GREAT MAN based on this trailer.
Trailers are self-defeating: they reveal too much of the plot, the characters in the clips are not established as credible people as they would be if they were introduced at the proper time in the story line. The incessant BBC trailers for their drama series simply turn me off. (mostly unhappy women shouting at boyfriends and husbands). I might watch a BBC drama if I stumbled on it by accident, but I usually resolve to avoid if I see the trailer. This applies to "I am a Great Man". The more clips we see, the more wearisome they look.
Love the trailer. Now, if you could get it into iTunes, I would happily pay to watch it.
ReplyDeleteYou should have gone on GMTV with Emily Nomates
ReplyDeleteWhat a rude little oik that Mandelson chap is.
ReplyDeleteLooks great - Tom Greeves (former CRD Desk Officer and CCO legend) is a GREAT MAN!

Using 'The Thick of It' style of camera work was a good move.
ReplyDeleteWhether it is successful depends on the quality of the script and acting throughout the rest of the film of course.
Any chance of seeing a clip with you in it, Iain?...
