On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, audiences across the nation will have their first look at the highly praised short film “Angel Fleet” as two new trailers debut during primetime programming on popular streaming platforms and TV devices. The 15 and 30-second trailers will air between 7-10 p.m. across all US time zones, giving viewers a sneak peek at the aviation drama that has already captured the hearts of audiences at international film festivals.
These trailers, crafted to introduce a wider audience to “Angel Fleet,” showcase key moments from the film, expertly blending historical drama with emotional storytelling and a powerful soundtrack. While not giving away too much, these previews highlight the film’s heartfelt tribute to aviation crews who have made the ultimate sacrifice throughout history. Viewers 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 resonates with audiences. After a successful run at various film festivals, “Angel Fleet” has received awards and recognition at events such as the Birmingham Film Festival in the UK, where it won the Audience Vote Award, and the Culver City Film Festival. The team has now set their sights on gaining recognition within the industry. Recently, the film was officially submitted for consideration in the highly competitive Live Action Short category at the Academy Awards, reflecting its exceptional storytelling and technical achievements.
Executive Producer Herb Jackson Jr. shared his thoughts on the film, saying, “I believe the magic of flight truly captivates people, and it’s evident 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 crucial. Having talented individuals makes a significant difference – our lead, Darcy Jacobs, delivered an outstanding performance, as did her co-star, Millie Lewis. This wonderful experience would not have been possible without the guidance of our director, Tristan Loraine, 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 reach mainstream audiences and deliver compelling, socially resonant stories that appeal to diverse audiences.
