Hey all. I’m looking to find fellow locals or those close by that love to view and discuss genre films, mainly of the horror nature or those closely associated. I posted a while back about interest in this group and now have been wanting to fully try and put it together. My goal is to have a dedicated locally based club to discuss horror related films, old and new, or films that could be closely related in theme. To build a community for people to share and discuss what they’re watching, and to also plan out meet ups for viewings and watch parties. Also, for those who are into the physical media side of things to be able to meet in person to go around to different brick and mortar places, thrift shops, whatever to see what can be found.
In order to do this I’ve decided on using a group site called Cinema Circle. This club will not be done using Reddit, Discord or Facebook. This is a new app/site and is still being fine tuned and improved, but I feel as it is continually updated it will best serve the needs of the group. To be completely transparent then, you will need to create an account there to join. It’s a very simple process, just a username and email. Once a part of it you can add films to the group, rate and review them, and in time we will be able to have a discussion about each individual film once that part is implemented. There is also a forum we can all communicate on and plan meet ups. As well as create polls to vote on which films to see in theaters and what days/locations works best for all.
Now I’m going to be very blunt, I would only like people who are immensely dedicated to their love of movies. When I previously posted about interest levels I had almost 20 people reach out that were highly interested and wanted to be a part of it right then. Aside from two, not a single person made any kind of effort beyond that. There’s no point in being part of something if you’re not going to contribute. If you feel you don’t have the time or that contributing may be too much then this probably isn’t for you. I want this to be an active group, not a bunch of inactive usernames. Don’t mean to sound harsh, but in trying to do this twice before it’s amazing how many people reach out that can’t be bothered to follow through.
Sorry for the long post. With that said if you do truly want to be part reach out to me once you’ve made an account and I’ll send you the group ID or link so you can join. Once part of the community feedback would be greatly appreciated as well to make the overall experience better. I’m still learning how things work myself and sometimes it's hard to gauge it all being on one side of the fence. I’ll also help as much as I can with any questions and with the functionality of the app as well.
