Six Projects. One Standard.

01 — Cinematic Trailer

ZANA

Fan-Made — Director Antoneta Kastrati

Unofficial trailer for the 2019 Kosovar horror/drama exploring post-war trauma and mysticism. I watched the full film, organised 50+ scenes into themed Premiere bins, and built the cut around the score — "The Dance of Death." The director reached out personally after seeing it.

02 — Cinematic Teaser

DUNE: Part Three

Fan-Made Teaser

Concept teaser for the third chapter of the Dune saga — built on escalating tension and visual weight. Matching the scope of one of cinema's biggest franchises means every cut has to earn its place.

Train Dreams

Fan-Made

A slow-burn cinematic edit where atmosphere does the heavy lifting. Music sync and color grading carry the mood — letting the visuals breathe at their own pace.

Harkonnens

Fan-Made

Black and white strips the Harkonnen scenes to their core — pure menace through restraint. Pacing and layered SFX do what colour can't.
