Overview

Synopsis

When Ecker Mills' old age catches up to him, he is forced by his loving granddaughter Maggie to hire some extra hands on his Vineyard. This comes in the form of Dalton and Ned -- two small time crooks who “through the grapevine” are told of Ecker’s fortune, supposedly hidden somewhere on the estate. Posing as distant relatives, the two attempt to win over the family and find their precious loot. But things complicate when they’re challenged by Ecker’s rivals, the pompous Klapperstein brothers. With Dalton beginning to fall for his “cousin” Maggie, and a documentary film crew showing up on Ecker’s door step, this simple heist turns into sour grapes.

Well I've got one film under my belt, and I'm exactly what you'd expect me to be as someone who managed to sell their film to premium broadcast television, in which I co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in:

Unemployed, poor, and an absolute nobody.

It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, and I can't wait to do it again.

Currently writing tv & film scripts when not volunteering at the local soup kitchen (ok, it's a bar..& I don't volunteer.. we serve soup though). Help us make our dream project!

not sure the trailer is a trailer for the movie or a trailer for CineCoup -- confusing

After having watched all your missions and understanding better where you guys were coming from not having any actual footage I wanted to say that I like your idea and think it would make a fun light-hearted thriller. Good luck getting your movie made.

I absolutely love the name and title card. If that was one reason to keep in the competition that would be it.

TBiddy U.

Very good!

Ros G.

Love the idea, think the film makers are quite dishy but feel I need to look at some of the other missions to get more of a feel for the movie.

Ryan G.

If the trailer has intentional sound issues, then to be honest it was a waste of time for that trailer. The conversation looked intense and might have been an interesting plot but I couldnt hear it. (FYI its not my speakers since the Cinecoup head and tail sound was there.)

Im a wine-lover; food pairing, tasting, the works... But i dislike the "snoot" of wine culture. Looking forward to seeing how you exploit that.

Jason v.

A well done teaser for a movie yet to be made. I think this competition is a bit silly as you have movies that are already made competing against "ideas for movies" that obviously will not have good clips to make a trailer from. It is an uneven playing field from the start.

Cheap. You probably should have made a trailer. Is this one actually in the competition? Also, poor acting.

Heather F.

interesting pitch :P funny stuff

Wendy S.

Interesting.

Nicole T.

Chado M.

This would have made a great mission 1 video - not much of a trailer though guys :( Giving credit for good production value though :)

Mitch B.

After watching the trailer, I really want to see this film be made. Great storyline!

Donal O.

I don't quite get it but it could be good and should scale up well.

April 4 - I re-rated your trailer up as it's really grown on me.

Cyndi F.

Graham S.

Liked it a lot, but could barely hear the sound. Audio could be better

Debs P.

Confusing - not sure if this is part of the film or the pitch.

Jennifer C.

I don't get it! I do not get it at all!

Joslyn P.

I liked your missions and I think this has potential to become a movie.... not super super interesting but it could make it

Genevieve H.
Posted 7 months ago

Confused. I was expecting a real something that I could get into. Maybe its better as just a project for you and your friends ... because having watched this and a couple of your mission videos it seems like you dont care about bringing in a new audience at all.

Danny L.

i dont know what to say

Darren R.

I can't help myself, you guys make me laugh in a good way. Excellent work. First 10 I handed out. Actually I lied, I gave myself 10 not that it matters because well, trollers are out and it's fishing season now ... I went from being a bottom fish to maybe fish food. LOL Hope to see you in the top 40. #absolutionmovie

Bern E.

This is really funny but not a trailer for the film which I don't think is in keeping with the purpose of this contest.

Warren C.

Lazy. Time for the real trailer or leave the island.

Christopher W.
Posted 7 months ago

This is an assessment of the entire project up to Mission 4: At first, the meta-approach seemed clever (at least for the initial trailer). I kept thinking, "okay, they're going to start revealing more about the actual project" but no, it's just the two guys on the couch. No effort was even put into coming up with a poster - never mind two genuine alternative ones - which says something about their commitment. If you want people to invest $1 Million in your film, you should at least be putting in *some* effort and a demonstration of talent.

For a story that is happening on a winery farm, the interview scene seems irrelevant.

Violette P.

Very cute, and I like the idea of exposing our vineyards, especially since I am from Niagara Falls.

Lyn S.

Have was it again and yes make a movie would love to see it

Sherrie H.
Posted 7 months ago

Creative spin on the trailer, but fails to give the viewer any idea if they can put it all together. So for that reason I scored them low.

Michelle G.
Posted 7 months ago

nice pitch - but aren't you supposed to be making a trailer???

Colin Y.
Posted 7 months ago

Not really a trailer, but definitely a cool idea behind the pitch

Nicole S.
Posted 7 months ago

awesome work!

David O.
Posted 7 months ago

10/10. But can you put gambit in this one?

Andre v.
Posted 7 months ago

Is it a traditional trailer? No. Was it supposed to be? No. Creative way to pitch the idea. Looking forward to seeing more.

Danielle W.

like the concept

Lisa R.

FIne pitch but I wanted a LITTLE something more than the conversation. One or two sketches, etc, or something?

Helen M.

Sorry, The trailer couldn't end fast enough for me. I seriously would have liked to see some of the actual film. Nice try though!

Clayton P.
Posted 7 months ago

The trailer is funny, but isn't an actual trailer. It's just a few guys pitching a movie they'd like to make, without taking the steps to show us what it would actually be like.

Matt T.

Some guy just handed me a laptop and a piece of paper and told me to follow the instructions on it so I'm doing it because I was just sitting here anyway. Funny trailer.

Matt H.
Posted 7 months ago

I'm giving you a 10 because your mission vidoes are outstanding and hilarious and I'll just assume whatever movie you make will also be that.

Tanya H.

I love this. The storyline is one of the few I actually think could be doable. Good luck, boys!

Interesting solution to the difficulty of making a wine country trailer in winter, but it took me a bit to figure out what I was watching.

Rod N.
Posted 7 months ago

I wonder what this show is going to be about? Their trailer is a fake pitch session to an actor acting like a stupid exec. Not impressed with the effort.

Cheryl G.

sorry, just didn't do anything for me.

Sheldon L.

Claire C.

Trailer is not very captivating.....not sure I would even watch full movie

Emma S.
Posted 7 months ago

Great thought for an entry, you guys have great comedic timing and chemestry. I can imagine filming a story about the wine country for a film contest starting in the winter would be...impossible. You guys seem like awesome-sauce. Good luck.

Patti C.
Posted 7 months ago

A good effort, and a clever idea but needed more action for a trailer.

Dianne S.

I don't get as good a feel for this project from this pitch as I have from the other trailers.

Brent C.

Interesting approach to the trailer and good production quality.

Dinah H.

Would have preferred a trailer. Feels a bit like a cop out to just show a 'pitch'

Gianna I.

Trailer was truly original and showed off your personalities. Looking forward to seeing more with the missions! (Team Rosalind Revenge)

Carolyn K.
Posted 7 months ago

Funny, but would have liked to see your characters and have this treated more like a true film trailer and not just a pitch to make the trailer. The idea is intriguing and I have no doubt you two are funny, but show me the film :-)

Cinnamon C.
Posted 7 months ago

Interesting approach to the trailer. Would have liked to see the film proposed.

Jennifer P.

I'd like to see the actual movie....

Tara Z.

The synopsis sounds interesting, but your trailer doesn't show anything about wine or love.

Kelly G.
Posted 7 months ago

Ahh, I just watched this one after seeing one of your (awesome) missions. Damn guys, I wish this was a trailer and not a pitch. Still, it was good work. Made me laugh.

Jonathan R.

Unreal Mission 1 pitch

Cara S.
Posted 7 months ago

Okay, that's hilarious. Thor's in it. I'm there!

Davis H.
Posted 7 months ago

I think it sounds Canadian without the moose and bad weather which is nice, has a story that can evolve, and possibly a subtle lesson we should all take to heart in the end.

John K.
Posted 7 months ago

Could be very funny

Michael M.

Corey T.

Chad W.

Story sounds really great, love that the wine vineyards of Canada is the setting.

Justina P.
Posted 7 months ago

Being truly low-budget filmmakers is tough- especially without a ton of industry connections. These are the kinds of original and clever videos I would have expected from more of the cinecoup competitors, instead, there are a ton of costly trailers for films that look like they are already done, and being presented as works in progress here. I am expecting to see great things from these guys. Keep me laughing and I'm with ya.

Gary H.

Laurie D.

Chris C.

A non-trailer doesn't really work for me. I appreciate what you guys are trying to do. But actually seeing the hi-jinks over being told about it, works much better.

Amy Z.
Posted 8 months ago

A little let down, the story sounds interesting, but this video would be way better suited for the first mission.

Tatiana Z.
Posted 8 months ago

A clever idea for the trailer, considering that a convincing trailer for your plot would be hard to put together without a budget. The idea sounds like it could be a really fun watch. I'm excited to see more from you guys!

Katie T.
Posted 8 months ago

Well executed and different. They did say anything goes, but I think this might have been better utilized for the team introduction not the trailer.

Arsen O.
Posted 8 months ago

got trailer?

Cindy C.
Posted 8 months ago

Cant wait to see when you have a budget :)

Allen M.

Very funny. Creative trailer

Jessica M.
Posted 8 months ago

Cute, but the story seems to appeal to an older audience so the casting seems a little young. I'd go see this though.

Lisa C.

clever and cute
good work I enjoyed it
yep
you will do well

Maikol P.
Posted 8 months ago

I feel like it's almost trying to be too clever in how the trailer is delivered. Maybe the film should be about the two guys pitching their movie idea?
It's hard to say "I like the idea." Without really getting a feel for what it'll look like in the end.

Kevin N.

Mike L.

Not much to this one cheesy ending!

Dan S.

Funny and shot well. Not a full concept.

Connor B.

The story is based off of the competition and I'm not sure how it could be a full movie. However it was interesting to watch, good job.

John M.

Very talented group of film makers! Looking forward to this one!

Peter B.

mmmm....Ill give it an eight because I see potential in the writing and acting. Was the dialogue written or was there a bit of improv?

Tanya L.

looks really good and original!

Cooper B.

Really appreciate everyone who's given us a chance. I know we don't have the money to actually give off a real taste of our movie like everyone else, but we're still very excited to share our idea with everyone the best we can.

Didn't hook me, just one opinion. Good luck anyways!

Trailer is not enough to sell the movie. I can film "talking Heads" on my iPhone. But the synopsis sounds interesting. Film some action in a vineyard and perhaps I'd want to see your movie.

Sarah K.

these guys are not only handsome, but incredibly talented! how exciting!

Kevin P.

This is very weak sounding. Also the acting is bad. Seriously there's no right speaker on this whole trailer.
