Overview

Synopsis

Til the End of the Day is a character-driven Western that mixes the genre's obsession with the last frontier and redemption through violence with black humour, pulp sci-fi elements, road movie existentialism and an art rock soundtrack. At the end of the century, 2 gunslingers learn of a mad scientist’s plot to wipe out humanity and replace it with his Master Race. With enemies on both sides of the law in hot pursuit, they team up with the scientist’s knife-throwing daughter and head out to stop him. Set and filmed in Saskatchewan, it will feature some of the more unique geography of the province as backdrop for the imminent Apocalypse.

The logline sounded intresting but the trailer really missed the mark.

The European fascination with the wild west, cowboys and indians etc. is enough of a topic to turn into a movie. This seems to be a quirky take on the whole thing... but if the movie is anything like the trailer though, the VHS cassette wouldn't be at the top of my pile.

Maybe this film project should be in the Art category instead of SciFi?

The interview does not work as something to grab the viewer. The shots from the film are interesting however. You just need something that's going to entice the viewer to want to see the film, either dialogue from the movie, voice over, or a combination.

I love westerns!

Michelle G.

I'm not sure I get what this film is supposed to be about. Are you doing an interview about a movie you've already shot? I'm confused.

Bob C.
Posted 7 months ago

The audio levels were really bad, so I couldn't understand the interview, but I'm intrigued that you are shooting on film.

Paula B.
Posted 7 months ago

This didn't tell me very much about the project you are creating.

Bill R.

Sorry, but this is just not good.

Christopher W.
Posted 7 months ago

Gotta say, if that's genuine Super 16mm, I love the texture and grit of the image, fits the western genre perfectly. That being said, the on-the-couch segments completely fall apart...poorly shot, sub-standard sound. I'd much prefer just focusing on the film through a well-crafted trailer.

Not sure how I feel about this one yet, but I am interested in knowing where it's headed.

Marc D.

Not too sure what this is about.

Matt C.

This looks great, bit of a niche like of mine and I think you've done it justice. Best of luck.

Interesting ideas but a disconnect in the execution and translation to media. filming and edits could also use more rhythm

Artem S.
Posted 7 months ago

Didn't UNDERSTAND IT... SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THERE, but... not executed properly. Good luck.

Devin D.

Dust, whiskey, guns and retro french aliens???? Is this how the world ends? I don't get it, need to see more.

sarah k.

This trailer comes off as somewhat pompous/self indulgent. A selected scene(s) from the film would better captivate the audience and speak much more as to the quality, content and create intrigue. Sorry, I'm really not sold on this.

Eric T.
Posted 7 months ago

I like the look of the film.

Jenny C.
Posted 7 months ago

I'm not really "getting" it. The trailer left me more confused than anything. Your synopsis sounds promising though. Best of luck1

Jared E.
Posted 7 months ago

That was an odd trailer.... not sure what the point of the 'french' people was as it appears none of the team is actually French.
Also, the synopsis sounds interesting (though I have yet to see a western mixed with sci-fi or horror that works), and I would have liked to have seen more of what was described there in the trailer.
I am big western fan, and liked the look of the footage you showed in the 'trailer'.... makes me wish you were just shooting a straight western.

Jordan N.

You really have something here but what you did in the pitch was much better then the trailer

Laurel L.
Posted 7 months ago

It looked intriguing. I didn't really get what it was about until after reading the description. The speaking was hard to understand. I like the concept though!

Donna K.

The film looks like it has potential, but this trailer is pretentious.

Tori D.

I like your idea but westerns are supposed to be energeticand the whole trailer they were sitting in a room (and a boring new at that)

curtis m.

Pretentious, you lost me at iconic American institution. I want a real western!

Catherine M.

I prefer the cowboy parts.

Patti C.

I love the idea here, but the trailer just leaves me cold. It's hard to take it seriously.

Simon P.

not good

Meagan H.
Posted 7 months ago

I really like the idea here and I'd love to see Westerns make a return, but I also don't really get a sense of much of what you have or will be doing beyond the logline. I am interested to see where you'll go with this, though.

Jeff R.
Posted 7 months ago

I want to love this so badly. I really, honestly, want to see a cool Sci-fi Western. But the trailer doesn't show any sci-fi, and the mockumentary angle (of which I had no idea until I read about it in the comments) should so NOT be in the movie at all. This score if because you put 2 words I like together, and that this pitch is so weird makes me believe you can be crazy, "out-there" weird (on some level) and give this movie a bizarre, interesting spin.

I'm going to watchlist this film. Please please please, make me love you in the mission videos.

Michael M.

End of your movie. The world goes on.

This isn't even a trailer. What are you doing?

Iain L.

I like the concept, but the sound was a little sketchy. Still, I love the notion of Saskatoon cowboys.

Leslie H.

I want to support Sask films, but I'm really confused by this one. No idea what's going on here or if you even really like your own film. Need to see more.

Michelle M.
Posted 7 months ago

Many ideas, but poor quality and demonstration. I don't feel compelled to watch it at all.

Rachel W.
Posted 7 months ago

A western sci-fri is a hard sell, and this didn't quite fit the bill.

John R.
Posted 7 months ago

This is clearly a mockumentary type trailer poking fun at, well, a lot of things. I should know -- I'm the drawling Aussie guy asking the scripted questions lol.

The cinematographer of the project is actually the guy being interviewed, pretending to be a french auteur (or something to that effect lol -- hi Alain!). The actual director of the film was operating the camera.

I'm sorry that this concept has gone over a lot of people's heads. But I loved making it with such great people and sadly if one tries to do something different or from left field they'll always cop some flak for it. I'm a full supporter of the project and miss you guys, like, 'heaps'. ;)

Love

This trailer might have worked better as your pitch. Here you just come off as a bit of a jerk. Where most of the other trailers have given me even the tiniest glimmer of hope, your's makes me feel as though you have no idea what you're doing. I suggest you adhere to "Show don't tell." and actually create a trailer show casing your talent, instead of acting like an ass on camera.

Justina P.

Gutsy approach. Need a little more clarity though.

Will B.

Painfully indulgent. And I would have been interested if this was an actual trailer.

Tom J.
Posted 8 months ago

I like the aesthetic and filmic quality of the few shots you do show us, but you essentially tell us nothing about the film or story in the "trailer", and that lack of storytelling ability coupled with the poor sound quality, seem to be red flags about the quality of the final product. I wish you either showed us more and let the work speak for itself, or let us in on the joke, but the vague trailer here feels like no man's land.

Kris B.

Not sure I get it but I LOVE WESTERNS!

Katie T.
Posted 8 months ago

Didn't get it. Liked the end of the world line, but wasn't sure what the film being pitch was about. Kept re-reading the synopsis to see if it was about the making of a western which is what the trailer alludes to.

Natalia N.
Posted 8 months ago

Unfortunately I don't really understand what the concept is. It's not engaging enough.

Maikol P.
Posted 8 months ago

Flashbacked to "El Topo" with a sci-fi flair when I read about this synopsis. Sadly the trailer was a missed opportunity to really give everyone a taste of what the film / story could be about.

Travis B.

Seems like there's an interesting movie in there. Not sure where it is, though.

Arsen O.

got trailer?

Stephen S.

I like scifi and westerns, so I think this would be a cool movie.

Cindy C.

It could be good, or maybe a bit better as a futuristic western.

what was that? an interview really

Jeremy D.

Gonna throw you an 8 to keep up some Optimism folks, keep a good grind.

Jordan D.

Keeping in mind that this is really more of a "teaser" than it is an actual theatrical trailer, I am definitely excited to see the finished product after reading the movie synopsis.

Joseph K.

INteresing idea but it needs more developement

Wolfgang S.
Posted 8 months ago

its a cool idea.

Luke B.
Posted 8 months ago

Including the director commentary in the trailer was a risky move. Too bad it didn't really work here.

Daniel W.
Posted 8 months ago

Oh I really want to like this but that was a really poorly made trailer guys. The outdoor footage looked really nice though. You should have just cut together some of that footage to music. By the way your title should be 'Til the End of the Day with an apostrophe. You're welcome.

The trailer did not showcase anything that I wanted to see more of. All I heard was basically the actress was disappointed in the movie.

Bruce F.

Love the fake interviews and playing around with notions of media, genre and authorship. I'm afraid you may be too clever for your own good though, as the joke/concept seems to be going over everyone's head.

Chado M.

? was this even a trailer?

Luke S.
Posted 8 months ago

The interview is funny but runs a little counter to the snippets of main movie we see, especially given how unfinished those scenes appear to be. Hard to judge on the face of it. There could be a cool concept in here. Somewhere?

ed l.
Posted 8 months ago

this is a very interesting concept, it would be great to see a full length film of this clip, more sci fi is good mixed with western. could be funny

Tina V.
Posted 8 months ago

Not sure if I liked the interview of the making of the trailer so much but the actual trailer parts seemed good. I would probably watch this but maybe not in theatres.

Chris G.
Posted 8 months ago

The film part looks awesome. I would pay to watch a feature film that looked like that. I'm looking forward to seeing this team's weekly film making assignments...

Donald Y.
Posted 8 months ago

Half of the trailer suggested good and the other half destroyed the feeling. I think the trailer might have been more focused on the potential movie. That might be a viable production.

blake c.

I've always been a fan of french new wave. It would be incredible to see a feature length film in this style shot in saskabush! I wish you guys luck but this doesn't seem like the audience for you. Good luck.

Rhonda K.

The interview format is interesting and clever. Some of the shots of the landscape are really beautiful. I feel like I want to see more!

Gregory H.
Posted 8 months ago

The description sounded intriguing. Unfortunately this isn't actually a trailer so much as it is an interview blurb and I am left wondering what the film is actually about. I'm left with no clue about the acting level or any real idea of the actual quality.

Rob N.
Posted 8 months ago

This trailer was a real sleeper. There was nothing that was making me want to watch the film besides the fact that you are from Saskatchewan.

Alain A.
Posted 8 months ago

To me it's a very entertaining mock-trailer in the same way as there are mockumentaries. All that is non film footage is a fiction about the film, film footage is fiction from the film.

William P.
Posted 8 months ago

I found this quite confusing. You seem to be talking about the film as if it is already complete..?
