How do I get free tickets for movie critics for our newspaper, plus other things, like music or DVD's"

Question

Our school newspaper does reviews for movies, but they have been out for a month on the DVD already. I want to do movie reviews for movies that haven't been released yet, for example, the Zodiac, but I am having trouble finding who should I contact and what I should say in order to get the free tickets. If you guys can provide any information at all, even if it's just a least of movie publishers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I used to work for a movie theatre and we did press screenings for new movies for local news people. I think you need to contact the studio who is releasing the movie to find out which theatre in your area is doing a press screening. Usually they have offices in the larger cities around the country. Try to contact them and tell them what you do and if they could allow someone from your staff to go to the press release. Good luck!
