Create the Poster for a Dark New Web Show about an Underground Poker Game

Northwest Films

Documentary/Narrative Films & Commercials

"The River" is a web series premiering on YouTube and other video
sites in October. It's about an underground poker game where players
are abducted and placed in a plastic-lined room where they'll play
for
their lives and for a $1 Million prize.

I'm looking for something with which I can really market this show.
It's already been filmed and I'm making a rough cut clip available to
you to view before working on your design. (It's in the dropbox
folder, link below)

The poster should be something that I can use in both a poster ratio
and square ratio for YouTube & Facebook. If it's a PSD, it can be
flexible to fit the different requirements of all the different
places
it will be hosted.

Materials to use and ideas to draw from...

This article contains several ideas for ensemble cast movie posters
and I'd be happy with most of them. Yes, I know they're cliché but
that vibe is easy to market.

Here is a DropBox folder containing all of the marketing photographs
you can use to create the poster. I wish they were better quality but
this was fairly normal 5 years ago when the show was filmed.

The main character is the guy in the brown shirt with the goatee. The
next main character is the "host" in the suit. The rest are all
tertiary. However, it's ok for the poster to focus on the host as
long
as we don't see his face. Feel free to use stills from the trailer or
videos.

I'm collecting stills from the actual film as well to be added asap.

Thank you guys! I've been very fortunate with projects here and I love
working with you designers. You're all awesome and I look forward to
working on this one.

I'll be very honest with designers and please know your time is
incredibly valuable to me and I'll do everything I can to respect
that.
