This is my first feature and I would appreciate any feedback that you have. I would love to hear some honest opinions and value any suggestions or input that you can offer.

Wow, pretty strong stuff. Looks really good. Some of the shots look a little weak in regards to grading, otherwise the content looks compelling.
Much better than many of the "films" up on the Apple Trailer site.

Looks crazy... In a good way. My only suggestion is that unless the actors are at least b-level or above, don't use their names in a trailer. It gives a "this movie is trying way too hard" message.

First off, congrats, finishing the first project, even with all the things you know you could have done better, is a major step. It looks like an intense mystery/horror/drama with good acting and good editing. The grade looks a little flat though, a little more contrast and stronger blacks would help the images feel more dimensional and have more impact. All in all, looks like good work.

I've been in production for over 20 years however I believe that I've learned more in the last 100 days than anytime in my career. It's actually been exhausting but I've enjoyed this more than anything I've done. You're feedback is greatly appreciated both good and bad. It makes me realize that I still have quite a bit to learn. We definitely recognize the color grading issue and we're talking with Cinefilm in Atlanta about solving that issue.

Yep, decent trailer. Initially I thought the grading was off or lacking. There are also some small details that may have been overlooked (for example, the flag on the house is inappropriate for this type of movie). Also, I can see a progression of your skills in the trailer... so I can tell you learned some stuff as you went on and applied your new knowledge accordingly. To me, this means that you are definitely going to be okay because you learn quickly and apply your knowledge as you go. Good job.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
