pitch us

At CinemaWaves, we believe that cinema requires more than just a knowledge – it requires passion and an appreciation for the art itself. Do you have a unique perspective on the world of film, its movements, styles, and artistic trends, or would like to write about your favorite film?

We want to hear
from you!

We’re primarily looking for skilled amateur writers who are willing to contribute their voice to this conversation. While we cannot offer monetary compensation at this time, we offer a platform where you can share your work with thousands of monthly readers and grow as a writer within a dedicated film community. This is an opportunity to develop your craft while being part of something creative and meaningful.
