About Us:

Nielsen Reviews is an independent online film review based in New York City. We specialize in the review and analysis of short films and feature films of all genres and are committed to supporting independent artists and those whose work is disregarded by corporate media outlets. To that end, we review only independent work and provide platforms for visibility only for independent artists.

Please join us in our mission to create visibility for independent artists and support independent film by submitting artwork for review and joining our global community of artists and cultural journalists.

So, first off - please don't spam Indietalk! There's no need to post this in six different forums, especially ones that aren't at all related to what you're posting.

Second - it appears you've just started a blog where you review independent films. You've currently got only five reviews - the oldest of which is from just over two weeks ago - and you're trying to charge for reviews.

That's all fine, but it feels like you're trying to wrap it up in something that seems bigger and more important as a way to justify charging for it. You describe the site as an "international film publication with a global audience" but considering it's age and current amount of content I'm guessing it's a rather small 'international' audience at this point. You promise a "professional review" but don't have any information about who these professional reviewers are - the only person listed on the site appears to be a history major either still in college or recently graduated. You describe your awards as "annual" and "prestigious" but it appears this January will be the first time you've ever done them.

Don't get me wrong - I think the concept for the site is a good one. I just think you're jumping way ahead of the train here. The reviews you do have are certainly thorough, but also a bit overwrought - they feel like they could use the work of a good editor. I think over time you could build the site into something more like what you're making it out to be - but right now it comes across as if you're trying to pull something over on people to get money out of them.
