A FOUNDLING (The Mojave Experiment) - feature film trailer

The warmth of your imagery,those sunny- bleached- reddish- pinks,the rocky location, along with the young women who were the central characters.Gave the story a film festival quality.Good Luck.

The music doesn't really jibe with the visuals (I agree with the previous comment by Brian) - The music would tell you this is a love story or simply an exploration/inward growth story, and the visuals tell us about two things:

An alien or something and the death of a girl and a horse in result (and possibly more danger ahead)

AND

A story about how foreigners were treated in the Old West.

All three are incongruent (at least in the trailer, not making a judgement of the film since I haven't seen it).

I was interested for the first quarter of the trailer, then realized it was like a story that kind of rambles on, needing someone to bring us back to the point... It can be something great, though. It just needs some serious editing.

I'd say, even if the film itself has this kind of undecidedness to it, cut the trailer to show the film as either the exploration story of two sisters, as a thriller with an alien in the old-west thing, or as a commentary about discrimination. Pick one, and go for it. It will make for a much more solid trailer.

And you can always make multiple cuts, if you are concerned that the "message" will get watered down by this approach. But you need to get this focused.

I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be drama or thriller.

Is the baby a monster? the chime music doesn't build tension, so I assume no..

Is it a heartfelt drama about compassion and a stranger in a strange land? Her accent is too clean for her to be from TOO far, so she must be a local...

This leaves a few too many questions about what the pretense is than the what the story holds. These incongruities would be enough for me wait for it to come out on DVD.
