FILM IN THE CAN: Get Press Young Man

WHERE TO SEND IT:

GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE or RED BULL for this one, and clear a night or weekend. TRUST ME IT IS WORTH IT and FREE!!!Head over to Rotten Tomatoes and click on a blockbuster film (you want something with a lot of reviews) on the left (in box office or opening). I will take HITCH as an example so you can follow me. There are 156 reviews for this film. CLICK ON EVERY SINGLE ONE. Get the persons name, website or newspaper, and put it into an excel (FREE EXCEL PROGRAM) spreadsheet. Once you have done that, go through and find all the information for those people, mailing address, email, phone, etc. The next step is up to you. You can just send them a press kit or call them and ask if you can send one, email first, walk down to the offices and drop one off personally, what ever best suits your style.
