Acclaimed Short Film “Angel Fleet” Set to Debut New Trailers During Primetime Programming
Wednesday 20 November, 2024 – Audiences across the nation are eagerly awaiting the first look at the highly acclaimed short film “Angel Fleet,” as two new trailers are set to debut during primetime programming on streaming platforms and TV devices. Starting Wednesday, November 8, viewers can catch the 15 and 30-second trailers between 7-10 p.m. across all US time zones, providing a sneak peek at the aviation drama that has already captivated audiences at international film festivals.
The trailers, carefully crafted to introduce a wider audience to “Angel Fleet,” feature key moments from the film, blending historical drama with emotional storytelling and its powerful soundtrack. Without giving too much away, these previews showcase the film’s heartfelt tribute to aviation crews who have made the ultimate sacrifice throughout history. Audiences will catch glimpses of Europe’s last airworthy B-17 Flying Fortress, a central visual and symbolic element of the film.
The film’s creators, Tristan Loraine and Herb Jackson Jr., joined forces to tell a unique story that captures hearts and minds. After a successful festival run, “Angel Fleet” has received awards and recognition at multiple events, including the Birmingham Film Festival in the UK, where it won the Audience Vote Award, and the Culver City Film Festival. The team is now setting their sights on broader industry recognition. Recently, the film was officially submitted to the Academy Awards in the highly competitive Live Action Short category, reflecting its high-caliber storytelling and technical achievements.
Executive Producer, Herb Jackson Jr., remarked, “The magic of flight has a way of captivating people, and it’s clear that our film resonates not only with aviation enthusiasts but with a wider audience as well. The element of experiencing trauma from losing a loved one, especially a respected father figure in the industry, seems to strike a chord with many viewers. Throughout the filmmaking process, I learned that collaboration is absolutely essential. Having talented individuals makes a significant difference – our lead, Darcy Jacobs, truly delivered an outstanding performance, as did her co-star, Millie Lewis. This wonderful experience wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of our director, Tristan Lorraine, and our award-winning cinematographer, Anya Krasnikova.”
The primetime debut of the trailers for “Angel Fleet” serves as a testament to how independent filmmaking can enter the mainstream and deliver compelling, socially resonant stories to diverse audiences.
