BASHED Has A Shiny New Trailer

I am thrilled with the new movie-style trailer created for Bashed: A Love Story by video artist and author AM Riley and her production company, Raining Fire Productions.

Check out the new trailer below. What I like about it is how it distills the storyline, the tension, the creepiness, the outrage, and the love all in just about a one minute segment. Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think.

Hi!

Check out the cool new trailer for Bashed: A Love Story by Rick R. Reed on YouTube. You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RlvD67TTV4

Bashed is the story of:
Three haters. Two lovers. And a collision course with tragedy.

When Donald and Mark left the Brig that October night, they had no idea their lives and love were about to be shattered by fag bashers, intent on pain, and armed with ridicule, fists, and an aluminum baseball bat.

The cowardly hate crime leaves one half of a couple alone and haunted--literally and figuratively--by the memories and denied promise of new love.

Bashed charts the course of a journey from grief to hope, from death to life, and from hate to redemption. Come along on a trip that encompasses suspense, horror, and--ultimately--romance.

  1. I love it, but then I'm already familiar with AM's work. She captures the story so well in such a short time. I've posted the link to it on a lot of lists. Hopefully people will check it out.
