Attention Film Fans

2008-03-01T11:51:24-08:00

We are in the process of launching the massive re-design of FilmRadar.com!

We are currently looking for people to help us spread the word. We have several nifty FilmRadar bookmarks and we could use some help getting them distributed throughout the city.

It would envolve just dropping them off at your local video store, coffee shop, record store or places like that.

Alas, there is no pay BUT we can get your free swag and possible movie passes.

Let me know if you’d be interested in helping out.
