This is the theatrical trailer for Lord, Save Us From Your Followers.  Being a movie fan I’ve watched thousands of movie trailers but this was the first time I’d been involved in the production of one.  We worked with a terrific writer/producer named James Melkonian at the award-winning LA trailer house Winston Davis & Associates and I was quite pleased with the end result.  I love seeing the official MPAA “The following preview has been approved…” graphic at the beginning.  Ha!  Legitimacy!  After working for three plus years to cull a 100 minute film from 100 hours of footage, it was really something to boil a 100 minute film down to a 2 minute preview.  The best I could do on my own was a 7 minute trailer.  It was tough.  Making a trailer is an art form unto itself - I was happy to leave it to the professionals.  If you’ve already seen Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, do you feel like the trailer captures the essence of the film?
