I've not received that, what questions did they send you?

I wouldn't reply either - any updating I do is through the "Edit Details" option on the SFF website!

no questions yet, i clicked onto the link and it's a survey monkey survey thingy the front page just asks for name, age, email, website etc but I didn't go any further, bit dodgy ain't it ???? and it only came to one of my email accounts ......weeeeiiiiiirrrrrddddd

I also received the same email but it was about a week ago. The questions are on the usual monkey survey (Spanner, its not dodgy - FilmFirst uses this services for all of our film feedbacks). A lot of the questions seemed to assume that I work for the press or a media outlet! One example was something like what publications will you be talking about the film previews etc.

I had this last week - you would have got it if you replied to an email from them yonks ago saying you did a film blog or site so thats why they assume your a journo, or perhaps if you sent them copy of harry brown articles when they emailed asking if you were writing about it more recently, but obviously they want to classify these people to prioritise who gets codes

Oh, well deduced Phunkygal! I write a lot of film reviews for sites like IMDB, LoveFilm etc and gave them links to them for Harry Brown. Dont have a blog though.
