Hi indietalk Community-
My name's John and I truly love shining light on the independent film world. My reviews and interview questions are consistently thoughtful and genuine, reflecting the true joy in my work. This, from the many indie filmmakers I've worked with themselves, as well.
My fair and reasonable compensation is $30 per review with interviews for my time, effort, enthusiasm, talent and my valued readership following earned, cultivated and constantly expanding over several years. My current online platforms attract an ever-growing contingent of passionate indie movie fans and include The Quick Flick Critic, The Movie Blog, Twitter, IMDb, Facebook and WordPress. I am the only writer on the enormously popular The Movie Blog staff who consistently contributes pieces of high-quality spotlighting independent projects and the people behind them.

I email a brief list of questions to filmmakers after watching their production via the private screener link I ask to graciously provide. I'll include all the platforms through which the film may be watched in my review, as well. Turnaround on my end is prompt.
I'm thrilled to help give indie film artists and their work increased exposure. May I look forward enthusiastically to teaming with you in doing so?
Thanks, Kind Regards & A Glorious New Year

for ALL of America
