Yes! That's what we're all about! We love reviewing independent films and helping out the community in any way we can.

Contact the editor at editor@roguecinema.com and let him know that you have a film that you'd like to have reviewed. He'll arrange for one of the staff writers to do the review and then send you the reviewer's mailing address.  Please include the url to the film's website (if applicable) in your request and make sure that the screener you want to send us meets the submission guidelines.

If you would like your film reviewed by Rogue Cinema, please read and understand the following guidelines before contacting us about a review.


Submissions must be sent on DVD.

DVD submissions MUST out of post production and fully completed.  We will not review incomplete versions of a film as the final version could vary from the review version, which would then render our review inaccurate.

Submissions should be in final production form and packaging whenever possible.

IMPORTANT:

Press copies are ok as long as any indications that it's a press copy are limited to the DVD label, title menu or a message that appears before the film actually starts. Press copies must NOT contain any messages, flashing or otherwise during the film stating that it is a press copy.

The reason for this is that we actually had a submission like that once. It ran big text letters across the bottom of the screen all the way through the film, which was not only highly distracting, but highly annoying.

If you send us a screener that doesn't follow these submission guidelines, we reserve the right to reject the screener at our discretion.  We absolutely do not want to have to reject any screeners, so please, if you have any questions, feel free to ask and we'll do our best to work with you.

Yes! We have reviewed films released this way before. Some people who aren't worried about selling an actual disc and just want as many people as possible to see their film prefer to release their work in this manner. Just send us the URL and all the pertinent info and we'll do the review.

Generally the answer is yes. If we like your film, we'd be more than happy to do an interview with you about it. Even if we don't like it so much but realize the talent and dedication was there in making it, we may still interview you. In those cases, the interview and the review are two separate things, and even if your film got a bad review, nothing in the interview questions will allude to that fact at all. It would be a straight interview with straight questions. We like to help people promote their films. Even if we don't like it, we're sure there are lots of people out there who would. So if we can help you get the word out by giving you some publicity, we're more than happy to do it! If you're not asked to do an interview though, please don't be offended. We can only do so many a month, and with the number of screeners we get, it makes it hard to keep up with everyone.
