Okay, I am guessing that neither Andreas nor 4036Douglas have children.
I'm not sure how old these little ones are, but between my own and my brothers' kids, getting them to do what you want them to do at any age is difficult if not impossible. When they're very young, good luck getting them to stay in front of the camera for 10 seconds. So yeah, the smiling thing makes you think this isn't going to be a deep drama, but the fact that it is starring little kids kinda tipped me off to that fact anyway!
From my attempts, I've discovered that lots and lots of footage combined with lots and lots of editing is required to get any semblance of a film when kids are in the starring role. But let's face it, their silly antics and happy little faces are why they're in front of the camera in the first place!
The trailer was fine but I would have liked more effects. The music was good (of course!). I look forward to the full version of this movie.
