A Trailer For My Documentary

I'm still not quite done with "On The Edge", my documentary about the femicides of Ciudad Juarez, but last weekend I made a trailer for it. I'm not entirely happy with the trailer, and I will probably make a better one soon, but this one I am putting up there just to whet your whistle.

What I was going for was a sort of quick overview of all the different people in the film. But as a friend pointed out it would be better to do an overview of the concepts, the issues involved. Anyway, if you have comments, please leave them here. thanx.

Great editing and a good overview. Having seen the film (in a mostly-finished form), I think this clip does the job of representing the many issues at play. My only criticism would be that the music makes it seem like a cheap horror/police film, when in fact it's more of a sobering spotlight on the consequences of social and economic neglect in a specific region. That said, I can't immediately think of a better soundtrack (maybe none at all, or a sad acoustic). Nice work. Posted by: Ed Stastny at Octubre 1, 2005 04:31 PM
