OK so I submitted to about 6 film festivals and now I have the posters for the film but I need to pick which one represents the film. In a nutshell my film represents God, hope, lost of innocence in a violent world, especially for young girls.

Poster 1-Queen V

Poster 2-Queen V

Poster 3-Shakira

Hope this can open up. For more info on my film go to www.myspace.com/surrenderthefilm

These are awesome! To me, #2 kind of says it, without even having to read what it's about. It shows making tough decisions is not always easy. #3 is good too, but I like the impact and color of #2. #1 seems more bad-ass without as much heart.

I totally agree with MIB; number 2 is the best! One is too "in your face" and 3 is too subtle or something. Two says it all with a picture which is exactly what a poster should do.

I think they are all good but I loved #1 the best. It makes me wonder why on earth she is so pissed off.

Damian, these are H-O-T!!!

I really love #2. Second fave is #3. #1, to me, doesn't capture the soul of the girl, which after watching your trailer and reading what you say about the film, seems important.

Thanks. I still haven't made a decision yet. #2 has the most votes along with #3. Only one person said she didn't like neither because she expressed an idea (and this was my first) to have the lead actress sit on a stoop with her legs open as if she just finished killing someone. Although this movie is violent, its not a shoot em up bang bang hood movie-its about hope, making the right choices in life and accepting responsibility by your own actions. which path in life are you going to take.

I wanna reveal all of that but not too much, leaving the viewer wanting more intrest in seeing the film. Also this will OFFEND AND bless people at the same time, I guess that's what the gun represents.

I don't know, I'm just whistling dixie over here.

I pick #2, it's contemplative. What's going on in her mind? What is she thinking? We have no idea and that poster pulls in our curiosity and mystery of her mindset. Go with that.

I like number 2 the best!


"Losing your heart's desire is tragic, but gaining your heart's desire. . .it's all you can hope for. This year, I wished for love. . .to immerse myself in someone else and wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Because I wouldn't give it back for the world." - P. Sawyer

yes, I'm picking the second poster-it had the most votes.

On a good note, I've been asked by the WE-Women's Entertainment Channel to provide footage of the film for their show about female gangs. Of course I have to meet and discuss but they saw the trailer on youtube and loved it.

A new trailer is coming soon. Keep us in your prayers. I'm already making a budget for my second feature.
