Poster Design Brief

I am the Writer/Director of an upcoming short film called "Nostalgia" and I need a 20x30 poster for the project screening. The screening is coming up very soon so apologies for the quick turnaround time. Here is a short synopsis:

"Jack is a mysterious man who is lost and disoriented. With the help of Evelyn, he searches for items out of an old diary written long ago by a woman named Nancy, despite not understanding exactly why he does so. Evelyn helps, but when they are unsuccessful she confronts Jack: Does he know why he restlessly searches for these items? The truth is shocking, and reveals Jack's connections to Evelyn, Nancy, and the strange old diary.

The truth is that Jack is actually an old man, and Evelyn is his caretaker and granddaughter. His memories, including those of Nancy, his deceased wife, have been destroyed by Dementia. He often wakes believing himself to be at an earlier stage of his life, and therefore meets many of the challenges of life with anger and confusion."

Here is the film's website: http://www.nostalgia-film.com
Here is our successful Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/936158131/nostalgia-a-short-film

The design should be dark and simple. I'm a fan of the art-prints that this short film used (scroll down to see): http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stephenheleker/smoke-a-short-film-based-on-the-story-by-alan-heat but I'm also open to other ideas. If you google "alternative movie posters" you'll see what I mean. The poster should be simple, easy to read, and hint at the themes of the film without giving the twist away.

Here is a link to the Fine Cut of the film: https://vimeo.com/73987588 The password is: remember13
It is not a completed version but will give you an idea of what the film will look like.
