You’d think a movie about YouTube users would have a great viral campaign, but the trailer for Chuck Potter’s I Want My Three Minutes Back is rather simple. I think it’s in the documentary’s best interest, though, to have a series of spots, each created by a different YouTuber showcased in the film. One trailer would be made by Kevin Nalty (“Nalts”) and employ a lot of fart noises. Struggling filmmaker Nick James (“nickynik”) could do something awkward and reflective. And Cory Williams (“Mr. Safety”) could do a music video for an original rap he’s written about the film. Other users featured in the doc should contribute their own personal take, as well. While we wait for that to happen, though, check out the basic trailer (via YouTube, of course) below.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: when is this film going to get a proper release? And I wonder, too, when we’ll be able to see this thing for free on YouTube. Well, for now it’s apparently being submitted to the festival circuit, so it may be awhile before it’ll be available in its entirety online. Wouldn’t it be ironic, though, if some big studio like Paramount bought it at a film fest and then refused to allow it to be uploaded to YouTube? If they can believe Cloverfield is worth seeing on a big screen, they’d probably go with a theatrical release for this thing, too.

    I don’t think Chuck would disagree with your post. It’s accurate. His focus is on a very small niche. He want to have it in a film festival. I told him it could only help to leverage some of the large audiences of the people in the film, and he agrees. I’d certainly love to show some clips on my channel, and drive people to a place where they can buy the DVD. I want a copy too! My wife hasn’t seen it yet.
