Poster Design Brief

Key Art (poster) for a psychological thriller. Takes place mostly on a train. The lead character is a woman over 50. She is a conductor on the train. It takes place in autumn as she is in the autumn of her life. It should have some kind of design of a woman in a train conductor's uniform. A "thriller" feel and incorporate an Amtrak-like passenger train and autumn colors. It has a social conscious, is atmospheric, and deals with ageism and sexism. The train is a character itself.

I'm thinking a silhouette of a female train conductor with a train behind or facing each other. It can NOT feel like a horror genre picture. But please, don't let this box you in. It is poignant, poetic, but deals with this older woman on the verge of losing her sanity. The title of the film is Mickey Michelle. The company name is Salient Pictures. The tag line is, "Getting older's not an illness" so title, company name and tagline should all be on poster. Though it is a thriller it is also a quiet film, so I know that's a little conflicting.

Mickey Michelle" is about an aging train conductor determined to maintain her sanity while at odds with ageism, sexism, and a delusional disorder brought on by the death of her niece.

MICKEY MICHELLE is an original blend of drama and psychological thriller that explores a mature woman's successful sojourn of rediscovering herself against the bleak and threatening backdrop of a patriarchal society.

I like simple. I like engaging. I like informative. For more info please google Salient Pictures. We are replacing the old poster.

The film's color scheme is steely blue and subtle tones of red. There is no blood or horror in this film. It could be a cousin to a Terrence Malik film. It's ok to think outside the box.
