Coming Soon to a Blog Near You for Nov & Dec 2017

I have quite a few things on a checklist for the next few months. There is no hard and fast schedule, but I'm writing things down here both as a reminder for myself and to let the one or two of you who read this blog know what to expect.


Grassroots Indie Blog

I have already posted about this, but to reiterate it is going to primarily be a directory of movie reviewers who do indie film reviews. The main function is to connect filmmakers with reviewers. I hope to add other features as it grows, but I'm trying to stay focused on the directory so no promises beyond that. My main wrestling point is in how to organize the directory to make it more convenient to search.

An additional feature I am considering strongly for a later date is a screener newsletter to give indie filmmakers an additional option to reach out to reviewers. I regularly receive emails for screeners via promoters for various independent studios' films. Well a lot of grassroots filmmakers don't have that capability as money is tight enough. I hope to be able to offer a free service that uses an emailed newsletter telling reviewers what is new among indie films and where they can access screeners, and other resources (stills, posters, trailers) if available.


Thanksgiving Horror Movies

Well, at least that's the plan. Putting together an article again for GulfCoast.stream for the month of November, so obviously it's going to be about movies for Thanksgiving. We'll just see if I have enough horror movies to make an article or if I need to make it more generic.
