A few tweaks and updates are being made today, Jan. 05, 2007
The JDR FILM CLUB was created so that JDR members have a chance to attend free screenings of films other with Q&A's with cast, directors, writers and producers, etc.
Whever possible JDR will offer a film that is being screened. At this time, members need to RSVP by sending an email to JDR, the address will be linked at the time of the announcement. JDR will have our industry contact member sign JDR members to the list. JDR members will usually receive their confirmation for the screening via email or mail. The studios and sponsors of the movies have different ways of handling their screenings, therefore JDR will always try to give you as much information in advance on how the screening will be handled. Please note that some screenings have RSVP lists and some just have general admission passes. Also note that even if you are on the list, that the screenings are purposely overbooked slightly to assure a full capacity. Therefore early arrival is suggested for all screenings. In NY and LA, the majority of the screenings will be followed with Q&A's with people involved with the movie. The rest of the country, 99 % of the time it will be a screening of the movie only. There are times where screenings in other areas will have a Q&A. We can not guarantee you admission to any screenings due to the overbooking, but if you arrive early enough you should have no problem getting in to the screening. We cannot and do not guarantee you a seat. No passes are to be sold or transferred. A valid ID is often necessary.
THE JDR FILM CLUB hopes to provide free movie screenings and information of interest to our members via our industry contacts, but does not in any way endorse the films being screened through THE JDR FILM CLUB series, services or suggestions offered by facilitators through our JDR series. The movie rating will be announced if we know it / or it is rated when the advance screening is announced.
Many times, the movies you will be seeing have not been released to the public. The screenings you attend at times, may include you in the theater with members of the entertainment industry. JDR encourages you to follow the rules of proper conduct, no asking of personal questions, no passing on resumes or script to the panels. Several of the celebs are more than willing to say hello to people after the movie and or sign autographs depending on their schedule. Please note that guests can be canceled and/ or more added so we cannot be responsible for someone you want to see being canceled or rescheduled as the industry changes on an hourly basis. You may be given pamphlets or hear of up coming events. Please do not try to attempt to attend future screenings or get on mailing lists by contacting the people in charge of that screening on your own. Our contacts have the permission to add a few of us to several screenings, and we do not want to jeopardize their positions by taking advantage of the events.
Some of these events are rare and allow our JDR family the opportunity to do something fun and unique. You must be a registered member to attend any of these events.We know it is never fun to attend alone so the majority of our screenings will come with a plus one.
We will try to offer movies that might be of interest to our members. The majority of them will consists of past Johnny co stars. Johnny movies of course are always our first choice, and should a Johnny movie come up, the list may be limited to one ticket only to assure more JDR members can attend.
All sign up are on a first come first serve and all lists are limited, so please check JDR regularly so you will know when a new screening is announced. Deadline for sign ups will be announced but please note that the list could close before the announced cut off dates.
During the FYC award season, we may get offers for more movies so we may be holding more than one during the month or more in the LA and NY area based on the industry.
THE JDR FILM CLUB will be 99.99% for USA residents. Any screenings outside of the USA will be announced as well.
Have fun, enjoy the screenings and please remember to let us know how they go on the board. Patience is key here as the goal is to have the screening run as smoothly as possible and as close to time as possible. Please remember that at times when the personnel is stressed and things may not run as smoothly...to be patient. It is never done intentionally.
Please note that we do not give out the exact location of the screening in advance. If you are interested in the screening, we can tell you what we know individually, but our contacts ask that we do not announce or list any of the screening [locations on the board before or after the screenings.
