How does TheWarrenReport work?
TheWarrenReport sponsors and organizes movie-related events - primarily in the Pacific Northwest -- throughout the year. Most events are free to members of TheWarrenReport. Here are the two easy steps:
1. Pay the $20 annual fee.
2. Throughout the year, check out new event listings at www.thewarrenreport.com, login, and reserve your seat to any events you wish to attend!

How do I become a member of TheWarrenReport?
It's easy! Click the "Become a member" button on the home page, and away you go!

Why is there an annual fee?
It covers boring, administrative things that you needn't worry about. If you want to worry about them, here they are: Wrangling movie-goers, maintaining the database, improving the website, hiring assistants to do check-ins at events, renting space for TWR events.

Call it what you will; we couldn't decide: membership fee, operations fee, maintenance fee, Warren-needs-to-eat fee. Whatever you call it, it gets you access to free screenings, witty e-mails, filmmaker interviews, fabulous prizes, and discounted access to other film-related events!

When do I pay the annual fee?
The non-refundable $20 is due once annually, good for one year. Your membership last for one year from date of payment.

How do I pay the annual fee?
Go to the "Become a Member" button on the home page. Follow the yellow brick road - er, follow the simple directions! The fee is $20. No more. Don't worry about shipping or handling fees being tacked on after you've signed up. It's $20. Flat. Guaranteed.

Do I have to pay the annual fee?
Nope. You can still access TheWarrenReport website and receive the e-mails, but you might be sadder than Marlon Brando's dresser to read about all the events you could be attending for free, had you paid the $20. (C'mon, it's $20! That's less than two adult tickets for an evening movie. That's less than GIGLI earned at the box office! And, you can attend as many events as your heart desires.)

How do I sign up to attend events?
New postings for events are listed on the website (www.TheWarrenReport.com) at least weekly, often daily. So visit regularly! All seat reservations are first-come, first-served. Click on the event you want to attend, type in your user name (your email address) and your secret password. You will then be able to reserve a seat for the event that you wish to attend, all online! No sending emails to request seats, no waiting for a response. It's all automated! (Just don't try opening the pod bay doors, Hal.)

I want to bring a friend to an event!
No problem! Warren loves friends! (Dear lord, not the show! Your buddies, your pals!) All your friend needs to do is pay the annual fee and reserve a seat for the event! It's every woman, man and child for him or herself. It's like SURVIVOR, only no one gets "voted out," unless…

What if I don't show up for an event, even though I reserved a seat?
If you can believe it, some people reserve seats for events without being certain they can attend. If you say you are going to come and you don't, that means someone who wanted to attend was turned away unnecessarily. Thus, you accrue a "strike." If you record three "strikes" in one year, you're OUT! That is, your privileges will be restricted; you will be barred from attending free screenings for the remainder of the Warren-year. It's tough love, but it works.
When you say you are going to attend an event, and you do, everyone is happy. It's easy: Check your calendar. Be sure you can attend. Sign up. Then show up!

The fine print - in big print!
The annual fee "buys" you the opportunity to sign up for free TheWarrenReport events. It does not, however, guarantee that you will be able to attend any and every event you wish to attend. You must reserve a seat in order to attend an event; please do not show up for an event if you have not reserved a seat. Seats fill up quickly, so check the website -- and your calendar -- for updates often!
Seating is almost always available for those with a seat reservation, but is only guaranteed for Distinguishing Features and Shooting Scripts. For preview screenings, you are well-advised to show up early, as seating is first-come, first-served.

Privacy Policy
Shh - it's our little secret! TheWarrenReport does not rent, sell or share your email address or other information about you with other people, companies or organizations. (This complex Privacy Policy may be modified from time to time... but don't count on it. The original was written 3/25/04 . If there is a revision, we'll tell you right here!)

No Recording!
Events are monitored for unauthorized recording. By attending, you agree not to bring any recording device into the theatre and you consent to physical search of your belongings and person for recording devices. If you attempt to enter with a recording device, you will be denied admission. If you attempt to use a recording device, you consent to your immediate removal from the theatre and forfeiture of the device and its contents. Unauthorized recording will be reported to law enforcement and may subject you to criminal and civil liability.
