Individuals are being sought in the United States to serve as independent film critics.  Do you enjoy films?  Do you have an opinion about films that you see?

On the dates of June 10 - 12, 2008, a group of film marketing consultants, film distributors, filmmakers and international publicity teams will meet at Big Bear Lake, California to evaluate a collection of new films.  Will the films be purchased by distributors and ultimately go to theaters?  Will the films be discarded?  Why do excellent films sometimes never make it to theaters?

A management team has been secured to help conduct a marketing research project.  A total of 6 films will be screened, evaluated with a comprehensive questionnaire immediately following the screening and discussed between the marketing teams and individuals involved in the film focus group.

If you are interested in becoming a member of this exclusive film focus group, you must agree to the following:

1. Sign a confidentiality agreement about the discussions surrounding the films and the questionnaires which you complete after each screening.
2. You must attend all 6 screenings, participate in all discussion groups and complete each questionnaire.

In exchange for your participation, you will receive the following:

1. Ticket to the official opening night Gala Premiere screening (open to the general public; optional for the film focus group).
2. Ticket to the official closing night Gala Premiere screening (open to the general public; optional for the film focus group).
3. Two tickets for two individual Special Presentation screenings (one screening scheduled at the Performing Arts Center; the second film scheduled at the Discovery Center’s Amphitheater). Optional for the focus group; open to the general public.
4. Six (6) private screenings for the film focus group.  Two films on Tuesday, June 10; two films on Wednesday, June 11; two films on Thursday, June 12.  These six films are mandatory for the film focus group in order to participate.
5. Photo with attending filmmakers and executives from each film.
6. Room discounts offered at the official headquarters hotel “The Northwoods Resort” when you identify yourself as a member of the Film Focus group.
