Among the Believers, Documentary, Graphic Design

I created this poster for the documentary Among the Believers. This was the first poster, used at its premiere at Tribeca. Later I updated it with the awards and honors it received. I altered this main image to remove the lavalier mic which was on the man on the right.

I also worked with the director Hemal Trivedi to choose the tagline of the film, and helped to make it more concise:

“Democracy has failed. Dictators have failed. Now there is a vacuum… Someone’s got to fill it.”

The line is spoken by Maulana Aziz, the main character, an ambitious and fiery cleric who we see in the film is teaching kids to want to be jihadists.

I self-published Petal Island on Kindle Press in 2019. Petal Island is a collection of poetry written by my late father Kevin McCue, and putting this together was a bit of a family project, but I organized and proofread all of the poems, wrote the Afterword, and designed the front and back covers including the blurb on the back. The image on the cover was designed by Eugenie Torgerson.

I managed the production of print materials for One World Theatre as Box Office Manager. This includes gathering bios and images from the performers, and if needed editing the bios down to fit our length, or writing new copy if the bio was too short. This is a sample page from a program.

EPKs, Grant Applications, and Festival Applications

Among the Believers Press Kit Cover

I put together the Electronic Press Kit for Among the Believers, a requirement for most film festivals. (Click to download.)

I also put together the EPK for Insha’Allah Democracy. (Click to download.)

I put together the EPKs for Among the Believers and Insha’Allah Democracy, including editing and rewriting sections of copy. Additionally, I co-wrote grant applications and festival applications for Forest of Punishments, Among the Believers, Insha’Allah Democracy, Battleground and An Imperfect Pakistani Daughter. This included rewriting the logline (brief description) and synopsis for each of the films, and for most there were several other required sections I wrote such as Artist’s Statement, Production Challenges, etc.
