The Resurrection of John Walters- teaser trailer
Texas- 1992- The legendary country western singer John Walters has peaked in his career many years before hand and is now in a vicious drug and alcohol abuse cycle. Believing that he is a no good waste of space he sets out down the path of self destruction ignoring the people that care for his well being like his manager Stanley Forrest and his on/off lover Shelia Du Bois. John lives his life as a loner struggling with personal demons as each and every day for him is a constant battle as he needs to feed his consuming addictions.
John cruises through his life giving mediocre performances, fighting in bars and destroying his guitar until he finally lands himself in hospital where he is told that if he continues with his sinful lifestyle he will die. John then sets out to change his lifestyle but with all the temptations that are thrown at him changing his chaotic lifestyle is proving more difficult than first thought.
Genre: western/musical drama
Form: Teaser trailer

Audience: The target audience for our film is people aged 15 years and over even though the film will contain drugs and some violence it isn’t specifically aimed at male audience so we have balanced the film out exploring John Walters relationship with Shelia Du Bois which may appeal to the female side of the audience. Also anyone that is interested in country western music will mostly likely want to see this film because it appeals to their music taste.
A good pitch. It's a classic redemption story with conflict and good music, a formula that will appeal to many people.
