Potential Taglines

Here are a few possible taglines for my teaser trailer and poster.

1. Sometimes separating fiction from reality is more difficult than you can imagine - This tagline would be suitable for this film as the protagonist gets haunted by what she has seen and stars having nightmares about the abduction making it difficult to separate fiction and reality.

2. Can your dreams lead you to the truth - This tagline is appropriate for my film as the central protagonist starts dreaming about what she has seen.

3. Would you have the courage to follow the truth no matter what danger lies ahead - This seems fitting, as the central protagonist is putting herself in danger by trying to figure out what has happened.

4. Living in the sticks was never my thing -

5. I always wanted to join the rat race - 

6. But I didn't expect to feel so lonely - Loneliness is often an element found in noir films, thus making this tagline suitable.

7. And then it happened... - This helps connect the scenes together in the trailer, helping audiences understand it more clearly.

8. I moved to London to get away, only to find answers to questions I never asked - This tagline is informative about the narrative.
