Target Audience

Since our film opening deals with some pretty mature themes with addiction and alcoholism, I have decided that the target audience for the film should be young adults from 17-25. Of course, this is just for the main audience, with many people of different ages being able to enjoy the opening. I don't want to dial back on any of the themes we are presenting and I want to show an authentic story about a man struggling with addiction. A more mature audience allows us to show the true grittiness and darkness of addiction. Movies that have similar subject matter like Trainspotting and Half Nelson, bot have an R rating for a mature audience.
