    On one hand it's nice that the intro explains the premise of the movie right away and in one sentence, on the other it's something of a cover up for an amateur trailer that doesn't do that.

    I like the 6-shooter, but adding the whole page spin makes it look like there won't be anything of value in terms of content -- the whole thing looks like a gimmick.

    It's just another low budgeter that most likely will go nowhere (sorry, i've shot so many of those and see so many of those shot, it's just reality of life) so i'm not sure going for a polished site look it's the best approach here. I feel you might have gained thousands if not hundred of thousands of new viewers if you added behind the scenes photos, videos, a blog describing the experience of making an "ambitious" movie for very little money, etc. There is a few hundred thousands of filmmaker-wannabes in this country so that could give us something to feed on.

    • appreciate your perspectives here - thanks for taking the time to post.
