SOUND OF MY VOICE
Fox Searchlight presented 12 minutes of the film Sound Of My Voice, an indie drama presented as a possible science fiction film that intrigued some genre fans and left others baffled. A journalist and his girlfriend join a cult to investigate a cult whose leader (Maggie) claims to be from the future. The clip shown presented the couple meeting Maggie who explains how she came to Earth. After the long preview, the cult leaders came on stage to recruit members for their group and enticed the audience to visit their booth on the WonderCon exhibitor area. After audiences had a good laugh with the pretend cult recruitment, director/writer Zal Batmanglij and co-writer Brit Marling who also plays Maggie talked about making the film on their own and being acquired at Sundance last year.
Fox Searchlight began their viral campaign in February when they released the same 12 minute clip with an interactive menu that allows viewers to stop the film and research more about the mysterious film.
