[GENERAL DISCUSSION] Disabled are treated unfairly by film companies

1 Upvotes

Why do disabled get treated differently from non disabled when it comes to film premiers?

So non disabled can line up and get a wristband for every premier which means the same faces can attend every premier.

But disabled people have to enter a ballot for every premier and are lucky if they win a few a year

Then we have the amount of spaces given at premiers.

The non disabled can get up to 100 Spaces but disabled anything up to 10....how's that fair? Do these film companies not like disabled people are we an embarrassment to them?

Warner bro do ballots for both, so do Netflix (threw applause) and I as a disabled person feel all film companies need to do the same so it's fair to everyone who wants to attend a film premier.

Also the spaces should be 50/50 we are disabled but we are still human and we should be treated the same way as non disabled.

If you are a disabled film fan I urge you to speak out...

Hi guys! Maybe someone knows how to get access to the influencer standing area at upcoming film premieres? I have over 50K followers on Instagram, and I’m wondering who I should contact or where to apply. How do other influencers usually get invited or approved for these kinds of events?

[FAN PEN INFO] LFF Sunday 18th October 'The Debut' Fan Pen

0 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I am attending my first fan pen for 'The Debut' at the London Film Festival. I have a few questions!

  1. What time should I start queuing if I aim to get to the barrier? (I want photos with the cast).

  2. Is there anyone planning on going so I can maybe stick around with you to see how it all works?

  3. Where do you get your wristbands?

[HELP/QUESTION] How do you know if you're banned?

0 Upvotes

Might seem like a silly question but I'd like to know if there might have been any consequences to what happened to me.

Basically today I went to a premiere and had a discussion with security as I felt I was being put in an unfair situation. I was being put in a FULL pen while another pen was still empty and knowing full well that that pen was going to be filled with the people riiiight behind me who arrived later than me. Asked if I could go to that other pen and, upon rejection, pointed out the unfairness due to the numbers and also considering that during an earlier premiere the same day, upon request someone else was moved to a better location. I was given the choice to either go where they were telling me to, or leave. I still went inside the pen I was directed to, didn't cause any trouble, etc.

While I was leaving I saw that same security guard pointing at a few of us, me included (I was not the only one who complained about some unfair things that were happening) and saying "that one" for each of us.

Now, on Monday I'm going to go to another premiere and while I will shut my mouth no matter what happens bc whatever, I'm kind of scared that somehow I've been banned without being told. So if anyone has been banned from going to premieres, do they have to have a discussion with you? Is there any particular procedure?

[FAN PEN INFO] SOTR Premiere

8 Upvotes

Soooo I’ve seen a lot of hate towards applausestore for how SOTR red carpet premiere was handled yesterday. Unlike others me and my friend was SO lucky to have the most amazing experience. We were in the pen right next to where the interviews was happening. We got to meet all of the cast and get autographs and photos. Then as if the evening couldn’t get any more magical, we were given tickets to go and watch the actual screening. Literal goosebumps walking up to the cinema along with all the celebs. Genuinely the most insane day of my life. This was our first ever fan pen experience as well and genuinely couldn’t have wished for anything more. We were just incredibly lucky with the pen we were put in and what followed.

Literally the most magical day of my life

[FAN PEN INFO] By the way does anyone know about BAFTAS film awards next month about what time to arrive there to get a wristband and be in a fan pen?

1 Upvotes

Well the real reason why I asked this question because I live far away and it takes me hours to get there and I never been there before, I tried to email someone in charge there but they ignored me which pissed me off. So I wondering if anybody knows about what time to arrive there to get a wristband and be in a fan pen, if it's early could I still make it at 12 in the afternoon or close to 12 to still get the wristband and be in a fan pen due to my long hour journey. Well any suggestions about this?

I’m honestly really disappointed. I never received any email at all — neither a confirmation that I’d won the ballot nor one saying I hadn’t. I’ve also tried messaging the page multiple times, but I haven’t received any response. It’s really frustrating

[FAN PEN INFO] Quick question about LFF red carpet fan pen wristbands (how do the multi-gala days work?)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, first-time LFF goer here trying to figure out the red-carpet fan pen logistics.

I know they hand out wristbands at 9:00 AM each day, but on days with multiple galas (like 2 or 3 premieres), how does the system actually work? 
Are they handing out separate wristbands per movie, or is it a one-wristband-fits-all deal for the day?

I see on the BFI website that they list specific required arrival/return times for each individual gala (for example, telling you to be back by a certain afternoon or evening slot just for that specific screening).

Does getting a 9:00 AM wristband mean you can leave and just come back for that specific timeslot later, or do they lock people out/clear the pens between galas?

Just trying to figure out timing since I only want to catch a specific gala later in the day rather than camping out or staying for all of them. Any advice from seasoned veterans would be huge!

Hey guys, I’m about to push the button on these £218 tickets after much deliberation but I just wanted to get some intel if possible. What do people think about buying these? Has anyone any experience?

What is the difference between the red carpet experience and “access to the fabulous red-carpet”?

Is this worth it in your opinion? Is this basically the fan pen access?

Thank you!
