GET REVIEWED: WE MIGHT LIKE YOU

Did you make yourself a movie there, hoss? Want to hear someone ramble on about it, for better or for worse? In that case, get in touch with us about getting your film into our hands for review. We don't guarantee that we will like it, but then, we don't guarantee that we'll hate it either. But you should pay special attention to the over-arching tastes that prevail here at Teleport City. for instance, if you are going to be touchy about me hating all movies that are in the style of "a serial killer's video diary," then save yourself the effort of sending it. But then, if you are going to produce art for public consumption, you best get used to people criticizing you. I get called an idiot all the time, so there's no reason you shouldn't be called one either.

But then, maybe we will like it!

GET PUBLISHED: WE NEED WRITERS

Teleport City -- we have no money, and we want to hire you at that wage! If you feel like you have a ridiculous knowledge of Jess Franco films, James Bond, and Jason King's fashion sense, then it's entirely likely that we want you to be a contributor to Teleport City. We're always looking for dedicated, knowledgable, and witty writers to help us cover the go-go world of global cult films and international swingin'.

We need contributors for Shrimp Chips, Jet Set Cinema, Sounds, and other important Teleport City features. In particular, we need peopel who want to start writing short reviewes of soundtracks and individual episodes of swanky old television shows. There are few requirements, though there are some:

• Know The Territory: Teleport City prides itself on either already knowing or making some effort to learn about the things we cover. Historical context, production history, star and director anecdotes -- basically, the background that helps us produce something more elaborate than the old plot summary and "dude, this rocks" sort of review. You don't have to know everything, of course. You just have to be willign to throw a little research behind what you want to write about.
• Know Your Voice: If there's anything that defines Teleport City besides our long history of unaddressed typos, it's the particular style in which we present our material. for me, as the founder and primary writer, the guiding light has always been that our reviews are more interesting if there is some personal aspect to them. Films as an integrated part of our lives, where the circumstances under which you saw a film are as important to your assessment of its worth as the content of the film itself. By no means should you strive to mimic what is already here, but it is important to us that you have a unique take on things.
• Know the City Limits: We don't cover everything. If you have always felt that Teleport City needed more romantic comedies or anime shows where five girls with magical powers obssess over a teenage loser, then you have sort of missed the point.

So get in on the fun. The rewards are vast and so impossible to place value upon that it will seem as if you are working for absolutely nothing. Contact us if you are interested, and let's see how things go.
