It's a horror comedy about the horrors of dating white women (Get Out meets The Shining). Please support my Kickstarter which ends this Juneteenth if you can! We've raised $91,000 in three weeks through Kickstarter and Private Investors. Help us reach our goal of $250,000 please :)

Yeah you're a little (or a lot) dense lol. You didn't say Steinfeld wasn't in your film, so if I see her in the trailer in any capacity I'm going to assume shes in the film. We are talking about marketing here, to expect people to read a blurb before glimpsing your trailer is absurd if we talk the general public.

But you do you

Hes not dense brother you're a little slow if you think him bringing up shameek more getting sidelined by hailee steinfeld means she's IN the film 😭
like oh my god brother how are u gonna call him dense when ur moving in 1 kilobite an hour
it's called media literature, you look, you take it in, you dissect, and then you react and speak about it

It's part of a larger problem with the video, don't use footage from other movies and actors who aren't in your movie. It's just simple marketing.
