You have some good images, but I find them pretty disconnected. I have no idea what the story is about. Some words with the core story idea might help. I see pieces of a story in there. Eg., someone is getting babtised, ie., undergoing a spiritual redemption. But in general there is not enough continuity in the images so that I see a story. You may not be that far off from having it work. You have obviously put a lot of work into it.

Jim,
Thanks for your input. Since we did a silent film, we decided to regress a bit in trailer style. In the early years, trailer were designed to intrigue rather than to try to tell the story in a short clip. More recently there has been a trend towards telling much of the story in the trailer. We opted to go with the earlier style, with the idea of making the audience want to see more.
One factor is that this will not be the only trailer, it's just a short teaser. Later we will have longer trailers that will hint a bit more strongly at the storyline.
