By the way Saint, did you see the stats for the trailer skyrocket
on Vimeo, after your Friday post?!?!? It went from a grand total of
15 for the 5 days prior to 134 on Friday and 315 on Saturday.
The producers owe you a few bucks for helping them with publicity!

Thank you for writing that detailed post aronimink. We are exactly
on the same page and it made my day to read someone else write
about the things appreciated from that trailer.
I have such high hopes for this movie because it seems to have
genuine heart.
I did not notice the Vimeo stats. Holy crap. I wonder if that will
have any effect on them releasing more information. I could care
less about money but I really wish the filmmakers would appreciate
they already have a built-in audience hungry for publicity and
information.

You're welcome Saint. And the Vimeo stats just keep skyrocketing!
Before your 01-16-15 post the "Sam 1028 Trailer" had 33 total views
over two and a half months. As of 2:23 EST today, it had 716. Over
NINETY-FIVE percent of Sam's total views have occurred since
Friday. Put differently, the Sam 1028 Trailer had a spectacular
2069% rise in viewership due to your post.
Like you, I hope that the filmmakers realize our audience is hungry
for information, and will most likely provide a substantial portion
of the commercial support the film receives.

TG element aside, i did not expect how terrible this movie would
be. Low budget, bad filming, bad actors. Good TG though but man
everyone except this community is going to hate this movie, it
looks like a joke

There better be a groping scene of her grabbing those tits or I
will be disappointed

O god here we go. Keep your options until the movie comes out.
Second this is not a softcover porn or even trying to be.

I am excited for this movie but the production quality seemed
rather low end. I hope this is just because it is an unofficial
trailer that has been released.

The reality is this IS a low end production however (from what I
read) the script is good and the entire cast are trained actors. I
can't imagine this movie will look any worse than a 90s era Kevin
Smith film or Zerophillia (which actually cost less and looked
better than Chasing Amy or Mallrats).
Plus, because this is an independent movie they won't have studio
interference to make it more mainstream. Switch cut a lesbian
kissing scene because it made test audiences uncomfortable. What
I'm wiling to forgive about the production values of this movie is
the fact that a major studio would never produce a romantic comedy
where a man becomes a woman and then the two fall in love. I'm sure
most people would consider that weird even though every married
couple I know says "I married my best friend"
They filmed in more than a few locations and rented studio space
for the office so that costs some money. The bar at the beginning,
the hotel room, the Curiosity Shop, the doctors office, the fashion
office and the clothing studio. Also, there's a big wedding scene
at the end of the movie and I'm sure a lot of the budget went into
set design and hiring the extras.
Also, Stacy Keach, Morgan Fairchild, James McCaffrey and Bryan Batt
probably cost extra.
I thought the opening of the trailer had nice lighting and color
correction but some of the other scenes looks desaturated and dark.
I'm curious if that's just an inexperienced D.P. or if those shots
need to be corrected in post.

Holy crap, aronimink.
I just checked the stats.1600 views over the weekend. I wonder if
host even realizes he got a huge bump.

Probably a 'fake' trailer, that is to say a production trailer, the
kind of thing you pitch to get more funding. If so I can see many
of the scenes in that trailer not being in the final film. Time
will obviously tell, but I'm waiting for an official trailer before
I judge the quality of the movie, or even guess the scenes that
will occur.

The movies in the can, dude. This might not be the official trailer
but they got financed by Mel Brooks and shot the script. My guess
is they've submited it to film fests and are waiting to make an
announcement.
But, you're right: don't judge the quality of a film based on its
trailer

Saint, do you think there will be any parts in which Sam is in a
bra and/or panties and heels? Yeah I know it comes off as a perv
question but I'm curious. My fear is that the part when she's
trying on the black dress and raises up the dress and showing a lot
of leg is probably the closest we will get to that.

My first guess would be "no." I get the feeling that the tone of
the movie is more like a romantic comedy and I've even heard the
John Gallagher (co-writer) and Natalie Knepp describe the movie as
"beautiful" and "with a lot of heart".
However, this is from Mel Brooks son and there are clearly a lot of
F-bombs and the trailer showed a little friskiness to the comedy
that I wasn't expecting so my next guess would be "maybe"?
I'm guessing it'll be closer in tone to "Dating the Enemy" but who
knows? Maybe there will be a scene showing her dealing with a bra?
There are a ton of pictures of her wearing pantyhose so maybe there
will be a scene with her struggling to get into them?
Whatever it is I just can't wait to see it. I feel like this is the
TG movie I've been waiting my whole life to see.
