Red Glass Book Trailer

Sorry I am a few minutes late!

Been fighting with some technical issues all day. The video was supposed to upload while I was at work but I got home around 1130 to find it had not uploaded at all. So after some technical wrangling without further adieu here it is!



I really enjoyed making this apart from the technical head aches it created for me in the final moments. The novel is a beautiful Spanish American novel about identity and young love. The main character, Sophie, undergoes a beautiful transformation throughout the book wherein she finds her inner strength and courage as well as her confidence to share her feelings for her first love, Angel. I was lucky enough to be engaged to a Spanish minor and she graciously translated and supplied me with the narration.

While the novel has many pulls and storylines, I wanted the trailer to focus on the main one I feel and that is the story of Sophie's transformation from "Sophie la Delicado" or Sophie the Delicate to "Sophie la Fuerte" which means Sophie the Strong. This is a reoccurring theme throughout the novel. There is much more to the story including the plot line of Pablo the young child who after a phone call late at night ends up on Sophie's doorstep, but as I said my main message was to communicate her story.

That's about it, sorry for the 32 minutes you all had to wait to see this, I am sure you were sitting waiting with itching fingers to see it. Enjoy!
