I thought some shots looked a bit video-ish but it seemed to work for your story, like it was a documentary shot on the moment.
But your audio was very good.

Christian:
For being self-taught, you are well on your way to becoming quite the filmmaker. Acting and camera work looked danmed good on that 1:45 teaser. Pittsburgh is most definitely "in da house!"
Good job!

Christian, Looks good the advice I have for you is to watch a lot of other trailers, and "Borrow" a lot of the things you see. It will help you with pacing and getting your story across in a short period of time. Keep up the good work. I liked what I saw.
