Welcome to First Weekend Club
I’m proud to announce that First Weekend Club has become a Work Industries client. First Weekend Club describes itself like this:
First Weekend Club is a cross-Canada film club that celebrates Canadian film and talent. Our goal is to build audiences and appreciation for Canadian cinema and to get more people to make a domestic choice when selecting a film at the theatre or off the video shelf. First Weekend Club is helping more Canadians discover Canadian cinema and talent and become part of a growing community of film enthusiasts.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be developing and refining web strategies with them. If all goes according to plan, soon they’ll be web marketing geniuses.
If you’re interested in Canadian films, be sure to sign up for the free First Weekend Club emails, which feature only the best Canadian films showing in your town.
I’m also on the lookout for passionate people with strong opinions of film, and Canadian film in particular. If you fit the bill, or you know someone who fits the bill, contact me, James Sherrett. We may well be able to help each other out.
