Why a trailer, and why now.
Readers decide in seconds whether a book is for them. Video is how that decision gets made on the platforms where they're already scrolling.
Stops the scroll
A cover is a still image competing with motion. Fifteen seconds of the right footage and score does the work a blurb can't do on a phone screen.
Works everywhere at once
One trailer, cut for vertical and widescreen: TikTok, Reels, Shorts, your Amazon A+ content, your newsletter, your launch page, your signing table.
Outlives the launch week
A trailer keeps working long after launch buzz fades. Pin it to your profile and it introduces your book to every new visitor, for years.
Built for indie budgets
Trailer studios charge $500 to $5,000 and up. Ours start at $100, because the point is to get real video into the hands of authors who self-fund.
You own the files
Downloadable masters, yours forever, with the music properly licensed. No subscription, no watermark, no expiring licence.
Made by film people
Built by the team behind Haymaker, who cut trailers and campaign films for broadcast clients. Same craft, author-sized.
From manuscript to trailer in three steps.
You know your story. We know how to put it on screen.
