Trailer cutdowns and social media packages for independent films.
Give your release a focused set of promotional assets. We work with independent studios, distributors, producers, and filmmakers to turn existing film and trailer materials into concise, compelling marketing.
Plan your film’s promo packageFeature-film post-production is at the heart of Trapezoid. Our promotional work brings that same editorial and sound sensibility to the moments that introduce your film to an audience.
Trailer Cutdown
One exactly 30-second trailer cutdown, created from your supplied full-length trailer and DME audio tracks.
One agreed delivery format/aspect ratio. The full film is not required for this fixed-price package.
Social Media Package
- 1 exactly 30-second trailer cutdown
- 1 short social video, approximately 8–15 seconds
- 5 promotional stills
Created from your supplied trailer, DME audio tracks, and campaign materials. A second short social video may be included at our discretion when suitable material is available.
Small moments. More ways to promote your film.
The short social video is a selected shot, brief character exchange, or sequence from the supplied trailer—often a moment not used in the main cutdown—with a transition to supplied poster artwork or an end card where appropriate. These promotional snippets are designed for Stories and similar placements.
The five stills are created from supplied images or suitable frame grabs from the trailer. Additional edits, durations, formats, and expanded creative concepts are quoted separately.
One film. Multiple ways in.
Build a campaign around the strongest moments, characters, and visual hooks. We plan assets for your selected channels, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
From your materials to your campaign.
1 / Brief. Supply the full-length trailer, its DME audio tracks, release date, target platforms, and any poster artwork or stills for the campaign. DME means separate dialogue, music, and effects tracks. We can review alternative stem configurations before confirming the scope.
The full film is optional and may be supplied as additional reference. Creating the cutdown directly from the full film is a separate service, quoted individually. Projects without the required trailer or audio materials can also be reviewed and scoped individually.
2 / Build. We confirm the deliverables and schedule, then shape the cutdowns and supporting assets.
3 / Review & deliver. Review the work and receive the agreed final files for your campaign.
Standard turnaround: 5–7 business days after receiving all required materials and confirming the brief. Faster delivery may be available by arrangement. Revision scope and the review schedule are agreed before production; additional revisions or changes to the brief may affect pricing and timing.
