too much 2 handal: I'm Back!!!

I'm Back!!!

This is a new year, a new class! We are back for A level and so far it's been amazing. In class, we have done so many projects one of the most interesting ones being the Film Distribution Project.

In this project, the creative writing class of Cypress Bay High School created stories for our Media Studies class to create a marketing distribution plan alongside a trailer, teaser, and the key art for the film. We were given a story about a kid named Chance whose parents passed away and now are dealing with the process of grieving. Due to the fact that he can't move on from his parent's death, he starts to be haunted by this creature that prays on anger called the Nighthawks.

My team and I created a plan to distribute this film through a limited release as well as a digital release. We also decided that we wanted to play the movie at 2 film festivals, LA Indie Horror Fest and Atlanta Horror Film Festival. This is perfect since our film is a thriller/horror film, which will be rated 18+ since the film will be discussing topics that are too intense for a younger audience. Our target audience is mainly going to be male college students since the main character is a boy around the same age.

The movie will be released on Friday, October 13, 2023, since it is a Friday the 13th, and it's on October which is when most of the horror films are released due to Halloween. The main way we will promote this film is through social media, Youtube ADs, and the Film Festivals.

This project was an amazing learning experience since we got to work on the creative and promotional aspects of distributing a film. It gave us a little preview of what it really is to create a plan for a film. Here attached is are the links to our whole planning process, our final teaser, and trailer, alongside the presentation where the key art is shown.
