Fandom Promo 2023!

Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!
Here's where you get those eyes on your fandoms for sign-ups!
Share what makes your Yuletide fandoms the shiniest and why you love them. A big part of Yuletide is how small our fandoms can be, and this is a good way to make sure other people know what gems there are out there!
EDIT: WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET! Thanks to Jaclynhyde we now have a spreadsheet you can access HERE.
Here are some areas you can cover:
<b>Title</b>:
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment, too. This helps people find your promo again.
<b>Media</b>:
<b>Approx length</b>:
<b>Where to find it</b>:
(If giving links, please only link to legal sources. You may want to encourage people to contact you directly if they are having trouble finding a canon and you can give them tips)
<b>What is it, in summary?</b>:
<b>What do you love about it?</b>:
<b>What sort of things are you likely to request for it?</b>:
<b>Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?</b>:
<b>Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence)</b>:
This is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive
(Bonus options: What are you thinking of requesting for this? If you're thinking of nominating worldbuilding, what sort of worldbuilding topics might people explore?)
Useful tip (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):
- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.

The Vast of Night (2019)
THE VAST OF NIGHT is an indie science fiction movie that takes place in a small New Mexico town in the 1950s. On a night when seemingly most of the town is at the high school basketball game, teenage friends Fay and Everett, one an inquisitive switchboard operator and the other an ambitious radio jockey, get drawn into investigating a strange audio signal. The film uses limited scope to craft a classic straightforward UFO mystery, paying some obvious homage to The Twilight Zone in a couple moments but also distancing itself from retro camp with a haunting tone all its own.
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: The story doesn't rely on action or even much conflict, just the strength of the lead performances and a non-idealized sense of place and time. Fay and Everett are two characters we only get to know through the real-time pacing of an evening, but the slice-of-life moments spent with them and the curiosity they naturally share makes them quickly endearing and familiar.
POTENTIAL REQUESTS: I will be requesting Fay and Everett as a ship or a friendship, likely with some classic genre tropes thrown in as prompts.
