cool, but why don't you mention the city in the trailer? or maybe you did and i missed it?

^totally. I heard a lot about what it was like there during the WC from friends which is partly how I came up with the idea. There is a street party somewhere in the city everyday for a month. The diversity helps obviously but I think Toronto is just an awesome and enthusiastic sports town anyway.
- you know people in TO who would like this please share it.lodef

very cool, funny how soccer mad our city is when it comes to the world cup, yet we never qualify.

I'd love some WP theme recommends. I've tried theme forest and some other sites but there is too much out there, you guys know the good stuff.

It was all shot during the 2010 World Cup with some pick up footage in the summer of 2011/12. There is a little bit about that specific World Cup in South Africa, it was a pretty great tournement that year, but its mostly about the World Cup in general.
Also it is about more than just the FIFA World Cup™ anyway and covers a variety of topics like diversity and social and poltical issues, so I am hoping people will be able to see its relevance with a little bit of perspective outside the event itself.

Cool idea. So you shot all of the footage during the 2010 WC? Or during the qualifiers as well? Either way, good luck.

Its going to be released online and I want the site to be as solid as possible, it will be the main destination to watch it with a 'watch now' area and stuff. The current site is just a temporary thing to show off the trailer so I've been looking for some decent wp themes that might work. Something clean that will make a nice presentation for a documentary like this. Not exactly my area, any suggestions would be great.

This is a project I've been working a lot on, its going to be my first feature length movie.
Its all about the World Cup but from one of the most multicultural cities in the world (Toronto). Something that's fun and interesting I hope can appeal to a lot of people.
direct link to the trailer,
http://vimeo.com/danielhicks/one…I've been keeping a blog as well,
http://worldcupdoc.tumblr.com/I am doing everything. I shot it, I'm editing it and making all the music, doing all the web and promotion stuff etc. Its all still a work in progress so anything can change but its about that time I start showing it off more and getting some input. I trust your opinions here so please let me know your thoughts and ideas, I'll be needing lots of help over the next few weeks as it is finished and released.
