This is clearly the way indy films get made, squeezing dollars and going the extra mile (without paying a lot for it.) I trust this crew can make the most of a limited budget.

I loved that you focused on being creative, using multiple perspectives in your camera angles and using simple lighting and views to create the moods and infer the emotions without relying on too many special effects. I also enjoyed that your entire trailer wasn't just highlighting asking for freebies but rather making the film you envision in your mind fit the money that is in your wallet.
