I had planned on saving this until later, but somehow my call for category ideas spilled over into the review committee, so let’s just start this part of it now.

Each film in the directory will have several written reviews associated with it. I’ve transformed all of Hali’s, Jason’s, and Jared’s reviews into “review #1″ for all of the existing films, and new ones will of course need new reviews. Reviews can be added to any of the old films, though that’s not really necessary as they wrote great reviews that were pretty comprehensive.

I am forming a “panel of reviewers” that will consist of a small number of people. The exact number will be determined by the number of qualified applicants, but will likely not exceed 5. Each reviewer will be responsible for doing small write-ups of films in the directory, though it is not necessary to do a write-up for every individual film.

With 5 people, it should be fairly easy to get at least two reviews written about each film, and a reviewer can’t get to every film, it’s not big deal. As I was looking through all the old films in the new database it finally began to occur to me how much work Hali put into watching all of those films and writing reviews for them. That, my friends, was a thankless job. And that is why I’d like to spread the responsibility, but still keep it amongst a small, qualified group.

So at this time I ask that anyone who is interested in joining the panel to please write me a letter stating why they think they’d do a good job. I’m not talking 5 paragraph essay, here, just a simple letter that goes over your involvment in bickfilms, both the art and this community, and why you’d like to be on the panel of reviewers.

Also of great importance, you must have excellent English grammar skills. I will freely admit that I am a bit of a grammar nazi, and I want to make sure that these reviews, visible to all who browse the film directory, have proper spelling, punctuation, and so forth.

Please realize that this is a volunteer responsibility you’ll be applying for. The only thing I can be certain that I can give in return is a nice title in the forums and my thanks. So keep that in mind.

OK, please send “applications” to joshua@brickfilms.com and let’s get this underway. When I see that the flow of incoming applications seems to have dried up I will post a deadline for last minute applications.
