There are thousands of sites and blogs that plug indie films, it could cost a small fortune to send them all a screener or even a DVD-R copy of your movie.
How do you decide which to send to and which to ignore?
If you're like me, I hate reading reviews of a movie I haven't seen. So, I'm starting to search their past reviews for movies I've seen or blog posts for the quality of writing.
I try to see if we have anything in common genre wise. If they hate slasher flicks, it's a waste to send them one.
I'm starting to check if there's comments on their postings.
How many people are subscribers to their posts.
I'll look to see if it's possible to see the traffic coming through their site.
I'll do a google/bing/yahoo search to see if their site appears.
Any other things to add?
