Digilante Theatrical Trailer

Case Study

Context

An independent documentary required a theatrical trailer for festival promotion and international exposure. The challenge was to distil a complex subject into a clear and compelling entry point for new audiences.

My Role

I shaped the edit to emphasise authenticity and gravity while withholding key information to create intrigue. By focusing on mood, character and unanswered questions rather than full explanation, the trailer encouraged audience curiosity and engagement.

Outcome

The director and producers were highly satisfied with the result, and the trailer was used in promotion and contributed to securing international sales for the film.
