Wild Child Trailer
There’s this new trend in publishing that uses video trailers to launch books. We used to only see this kind of thing for James Patterson books on late night television, but those were just pictures of the book cover and that really creepy voice announcing the title.
Recently, Jamieson Fry, a filmmaker who loves short stories (and One Story!) contacted me about this new trailer he shot for T.C. Boyle’s collection, Wild Child: and Other Stories.
He wrote:
“I aimed for a quick two-shot vignette for each story, so that the viewer can get a feel for what it’s like to browse through a collection of stories you’ve read and loved (for viewers who have already read the book and know why they’re seeing what they’re seeing) or the feeling of picking up a collection at the store and flipping through it, just catching story titles and a brief impression.”
