Would you like to blog or write reviews for us in exchange for independent cinema tickets?
You don’t need to do it all the time, though ideally between you we would like regular content.
In exchange we’ll offer you the following:
- One blog = One independent cinema tickets valid across the UK (max of 4 a month)
- Profile as a blogger on the site (whilst you are active)
- On priority list for any previews, screening, free tickets we have available
- Link to your own website or blog on this site
- The lovely addition of ‘film critic/writer’ to your CV
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Reviews of independent, cult, world, documentaries, interesting, shorts films and festivals (but not particularly mainstream blockbusters)
- Blogs about film events & happenings, cinemas news, cinema campaigns, interviews, premieres, things coming up (but not necessarily film / celebrity gossip or about film making)
As well as written, blogs and reviews can be visual (illustrations, graphics, infographics, photography etc), short films or written.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
Email us with details about what you would be interested in covering and how, what types of films you like, and any links to writing or online profiles.
But don’t worry if you have never done anything before, we just want people who are keen and have good taste.
… There is no deadline for this, so just let us know at any point if you are interested, and we will get back to you to let you know if we’d like you on board.
Vicky, or anybody, I’m lost. I thought I had ‘signed-up’ yonks ago – but I seem to be out of contact. Re: blogging, I have set up my own site and am exploring how to use it, I think I need to change the address (toooo long!). Re: reviews – I sent you a review of “My Week With Marilyn” (only ten months late – but doesn’t that make it a bit of a ‘cult’ film?). It’s not that I expect a quick entry on the Electric Fleapit site – but then I don’t know how you transfer our input onto the site? Doesn’t a simple copy&paste do it?
If you are galivanting round the States – don’t they do the ‘world wide wait’? (‘not invented here’ syndrome?).
I attended the BFI Premier of “Turned Towards The Sun”, the film about the life of Micky Burn (the one I thought was going to premier in St Nazaire, amongst many other misconceptions!). When the BFI guy (I missed his name) invited Greg Olliver, the Director, down the front for what I believe is referred to as a Q & A session Greg took the mike and didn’t wait for the first question but opened with “Anyone who didn’t cry can piss off now” which in fact was an entirely appropriate comment, if you can accept the idea of ‘good tears’. I shall in due course give an attempt at a review my best shot, but it is such a monster of a film (even tho only 100 minutes) that it would stretch any linguistic scholar’s skill with describing the non-verbal aspects. I am trying to give my sister a (sort of) idea of the evening – which I hope will be a good limbering up exercise for the Fleapit review.
Well I will chuck this into the ether …. and see what eventuates?!
There is something wrong with this situation, it is not ‘two-way-communication’, I post … and nothing happens.
What IS going on (since communication ISN’T).
