About

Film-Forward.com aims to be a comprehensive Website for reviews of “specialty films” (for a lack of a better word): independent, foreign, documentary, as well as certain studio films. Because many of these films may not be seen theatrically in many parts of the U.S, we hope to make these films better known no matter where our readership resides, especially at a time when films and audiences have become more fragmented. We hope you will seek out these films, if not in theaters then on DVD, Blu-ray, and on demand.

What distinguishes Film-Forward.com from blogs or open-source forums is the editorial oversight. Secondly, the site is truly privately and independently owned and operated. By sharing their expertise and film viewing experiences, the reviewers—filmmakers, actors, writers, longtime film buffs—make this website unique, adding to the conversation about film. Our hope is that these critiques will be thought-provoking and constructive. Since there are now countless films at our disposal, thanks to the Internet, we aim to make your choices easier—the more information you have, the better.

Thanks for your readership.
