We’ll see you on Monday with our annual CineKink NYC wrap-up, pictures and a full roster of thank yous! Meanwhile…
1) YOU BE THE JUDGE...RATE AND REVIEW!
You put all that time in the seats, be sure to let us know what you think!
Our CineKink NYC community on B-Side gives you the ability to rate your favorites (and, though hard to fathom, not-so-favorites) and leave reviews on the films you saw throughout the festival.
These reviews are keenly anticipated by our filmmakers, fellow audience members, other festival programmers and all of us at CineKink, as we use them to help determine and promote bookings for our upcoming tour appearances.
All you need is an email address, register here to be a part of it - and pass along your thoughts:
