What distinguishes The Movie Scrutineer from other movie sites is that we don’t generally bother with industry news, speculation or celebrity gossip – instead, we focus on the content of movies. That means we aim to publish discussion of the art of filmmaking, theme, political, social or cultural issues raised in film, general representations of culture, et cetera.

We prefer personal pieces – well-written, insightful reviews and features in which the writer is free to present their unique opinion. We care about the essence of film, and prefer longer, in-depth, content-driven articles that focus on film-analysis instead of easy, meaningless traffic-bait.

Please send your application to info@themoviescrutineer.com. Include at least one example of your work (.doc, .docx or .pdf formats only) that is between 700 and 2000 words. Also, please pitch 2-3 article titles of articles that you could and want to write for The Movie Scrutineer. Finally, please let us know what film genres you prefer, which directors are your favorites and what kind of experience you have in (film) writing, if any!

We’re really looking forward to hear from you!
