The organization’s membership will be comprised of both established and up-and-coming online film critics based in the Boston area. Critics from respected outlets such as The Improper Bostonian, Edge Boston, Post-Movie Podcast, Boston Latino, Starpulse.com, and filmcritic.com have already joined this new organization, which plans to expand its roster in the coming year.
Boston is home to a thriving film scene, with a burgeoning community of critics writing for publications that collectively receive over 15 million impressions/page views per month. The Boston Online Film Critics Association will gather together some of the most exciting personalities in the online world of film criticism.
The first annual Boston Online Film Critics Association awards will be handed out at the end of 2012. As with its focus in the Boston area, Boston Online Film Critics Association will award accolades to local filmmakers and individuals who have an important hand in shaping the local film community. In addition to year-end awards, the organization will be actively involved in the Boston film community by hosting events such as screenings, film discussion groups, participating in local film festivals and supporting up-and-coming filmmakers.
