Test Your Luck at The Cinema This Weekend

Greetings Old Sport!

The MovieJawn staff has been pounding the pavement at film festivals across the world in search of the latest and greatest motion pictures to share with you. In case you missed it make sure to check out our coverage of Final Girls Berlin Festival here, Athena Film Festival here, and South by Southwest Film Festival here.

Do you fancy writing about movies? MovieJawn is seeking interested film writers to join our staff. No matter your level of writing experience, ALL ARE WELCOME TO APPLY. However, special considerations will be made for historically marginalized writers.

Presently, MovieJawn staff is unpaid. At this time payment that is offered to our writers is collected through direct reader support and donation. Writers that contribute to our quarterly print publication receive a contributor's copy. We continue to work on ways to offer compensation and are hopeful to offer more opportunities for payment in the future. APPLICATION DEADLINE IS TONIGHT and this opportunity only comes once a year… Apply here.

We got FREE TICKETS for our Philly Film Pals! Get a sneak peek of Bryan Tyree Henry's Apple TV series: DOPE THIEF. Tuesday, March 18 at 7pm he will be attendance at AMC Fashion District to screen the first episode followed by a Q & A. Get your free tickets to DOPE THIEF here.
