The art of the trailer: The seductive tease...

The 2006 All Roads Film Festival trailer is live!

Indeed, there's nothing like a good trailer to get pheremones juiced for a new film or upcoming event.  The 2006 All Roads Trailer is no exception.  Hopefully you have been to the All Roads Film Project homepage and checked out the new trailer in the upper-right hand corner.  A good trailer serves as a seductive tease, capturing the tone of an entire event in under a minute, leaving us on the edge of our seats begging for more.  In essence it tells the story yet only provides a simple glimpse.  While this proves as a major undertaking for a full feature film, imagine challenge of an entire festival!  When considering mood, tone and ambience, music is the secret weapon of the filmmaker/storyteller.  I love how the music of the aforementioned trailer takes me on an epic journey with the accompanying images.  Try viewing the trailer with no sound.
