About That Popular 'Black Films Don't Sell ...Watch Intriguing Trailer For The Short Film 'Zincgraff'
Here is the trailer for the short film Zincgraff, written and directed by San Franciso based filmmaker Lino Brown, his fourth short film in three years, which deals with, as Brown says, "a reclusive and hallucinative painter manages to hold onto the memories and momentum of his dearest mate just long enough to conclude his portrait of her. An internal exploration of a relationship and the timeline of dissolution & empathy, thus begging the question of “What are the stories behind a painter's paintings?”
The filmmaker's own personal experience shapes his view and approach to his films. Born and raised in Cameroon, Brown came to the U.S. as a teenager just seven years ago, and he says that his latest film is "a collective of my experiences, shared conversations and memories. A modest tribute to a culture and story I had almost forgotten."
He further adds that "my work has been about telling stories, propelling issues of social perception, relationships and the mass psychology of my generation. I am interested in how the mind works and how our thoughts, ideas, feelings and perceptions relate to the world both personally and collectively."
Here's the trailer:

I agree that the trailer is intriguing, although I think it's a might vague. It seems that filmmakers have gotten into this zone where they try to pique interest with a trailer that features random images and dialogue from the piece. I think an effective trailer should be structured the same as a three-act narrative -- minus the resolution. (IMO)
