About ReelChicago
The go-to source for Chicago visual industry news
ReelChicago.com is targeted to and about Chicago visual media professionals, who create and produce content in all forms and genres for iPod to IMAX screens.
Historically, we have been chronicling Chicago visual media industry since 1979. Our original Screen Magazine, Chicago’s first film publication, forged a community where none had existed before. In 2004 we crossed the threshold to the limitless world of the web to bring you ReelChicago.com.
Content relevant to your business is posted daily. Our stories are always original (we don’t reprint press releases), authoritative (written by film professionals) and exclusive to our readers. We provide the ideal editorial environment for your advertising.
Serving the advertising community is distinguished advertising columnist Lewis Lazare, formerly of the Chicago Sun-Times and one of only two nationally published advertising gurus. (The other columnist, Stuart Elliott, writes for the New York Times.)
The Reel’s other experts are contributing editor Ed M. Koziarski, an experienced filmmaker and journalist; much honored indie filmmaker Julian Grant shares his insights on indie cinema; spot director and futurist David Rosen alerts us to what’s ahead and Kerry Reid puts us inside Chicago’s vibrant theatre scene.
Our soaring readership is second only to Hollywood film trade publications. The Reel is read in Chicago and regional film markets between coasts, including Los Angeles, and has a following in Europe and Asia.
Expansion is ongoing. That’s a subtle hint to alert you to upcoming new features to enhance your knowledge and appreciation of the Chicago production industry.
You are part of all this. Our community is not complete without your participation. It’s easy. Just email Ruth@ReelChicago.com or pick up the phone and send us your news.
People want to know about you, just as you turn to ReelChicago to know about them.
