I've heard many directors give insight into the creative process, writers talk about how studios try to change your movie, and actors talk about how they prepare for roles. Another way to see movies really early is to be asked to participate in a test-audience screening. Well, just hang around any populated place in LA during the daytime. Inevitably, someone with a clipboard will come up to you and ask if you want to see a new movie absolutely free. It's the type of stuff that leads to changes in endings, release dates, or total rewrites.
College campuses are prime places for movie companies to get test audiences.
A couple of new films are shown on UCLA's campus every month, and as always, they're free. The Movie Interview bonuses are my comments about the post-film viewing interviews conducted for the Sneak Previews Class. They also field questions from the audience, so like I said before this is a great class to take and anyone in the LA area should check it out. Enjoy the reviews and if you'd like to contribute, go ahead and use the comments pages. Thanks for visiting Sneak Reviews.
