If You Knew Then What I Know Now from Sarabande Books.

"This stunning short film/ book trailer . . . is just beautiful and arresting. . . . [I]t’s just a lovely example of how a text can interact with film to create something that’s not merely a commercial for the book, but a piece of art in itself. Wish more book trailers were like this. . . ." — Publishers Weekly

"Every essayist should be fortunate enough to know a filmmaker like Tucker Capps. Capps’ trailer (or short film, really) for Ryan Van Meter’s If You Knew Then What I Know Now is a beautiful thing. Using techniques I can’t even begin to guess at, the film is one part animation and one part live action, and breaks your heart in just under three minutes flat." — Booklist

"Dear everyone who produces book trailers or other digital promotional media. Take a note from the team behind Tucker Capps’ short film inspired by Ryan Van Meter’s upcoming essay collection, If You Knew Then What I Know Now forthcoming in April. This is how it’s done." — Lambda Literary
