During SXSW this past March, we invited filmmakers with movies at that festival to get in touch with us a few weeks before (and send screeners and any online video, if possible) so that we could highlight some of the more interesting-looking projects before the fest, and get a jump on watching stuff so that we could ultimately post more reviews. Now we’re looking to extend the same invitation to any filmmakers who are planning to show work at Sundance or Slamdance next month. More details after the jump.

Sending a screener before the fest essentially buys insurance that your film won’t be overlooked during the festival crush. If you send us a screener and we like your movie, we’ll post our review before your first Park City screening; if we don’t like it, we’ll hold off until after your premiere. If you can’t send a screener but would still like to get on our radar, please do still get in touch. And if you have any video that we can post on the blog before the fest (trailers, clips, whatever––anything that’s embeddable), that’s a huge plus. We’re primarily looking to pre-screen and spotlight features, but we’re totally open to looking at shorts, too, as time prevails.
