So, ok well you may be thinking to yourselves what does the Daily telegraph have to do with new releases in the film world, well quite a lot actually. Some of us simpletons have these little jobs which we do every month or so which we like to say we work for the Daily telegraph, when actually we're just movie promoters and not very good ones at that.
Basically, every month or so me and my friend Charlotte trapse around the whole of the student villiage and stand in the freezing cold handing out flyers, of which most people just politely take one then throw it away when your not looking.
Anyway what this has to do with you, well what we offer is two free tickets for a preview of a forthcoming movie (don't worry its not a shitty preview which half of the film is missed out its the entire film) basically all you have to do is buy two copies of the Daily Telegraph newspaper from different days and take the two front pages into you student shop with your filled out leaflet (which will specify the cinema the preview is being held at, the time and obviously the film, along with the name of your student shop)
Now what is fazing me is why isn't this appealing to students it takes about 2ish hours of a day in which you get to watch a free film before anyone else. Now maybe its just people at Glasgow university who it doesnt appeal to but personally i think its a pretty fair deal. I mean you can buy the paper and your friend/partner/lover/bit on the side can buy the popcorn sounds like a fair deal to me.
Anyway, seen as students dont seem to be interested in the free films which is stupid, as movie mania was actually set up for students to see films first and vertually free. So, basically what i was looking for was a response from fellow movie lovers to say whether or not its a fair deal and if so any ideas how to get people to go without tying them together a dragging them along behind a bus or any other moving thing that could pull lots of students?

P.s the films we have promoted so far is Shark Tale and the Mancurian Candidate

and in response to your post... perhaps they just dont want to be seen buying the daily telegraph? i mean its hardlyz the students paper of choice is it. and would you honestly want to look anything less than common when walking round glasgow?

The daily telegraph is great, I'm a student and I read it.

p you are so uncultured

There are two free weekly student papers at Northumbria, the Student Times and the Student Guardian. The times doesn't get much publicity but they stand there handing out the guardian, making people deep throat socialism. It is sick, wastes my time having to tell them to fuck off week in week out.
