Whom should I contact in order to get a press pass to an early viewing of a film for my high school newspaper?

Help! I'm writing a movie review of the Twilight Movie (coming out November 21) for my school's publication and I'm trying to figure out whom I should contact in order to see the movie before the release date. I know movie critics do it, because the reviews come out several days before the movie is released. Should I talk to the studio? The distribution company? The production company? Thanks for the help.

Here's where you start: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099212/

You'll likely want to send a very nicely written email to Imprint Entertainment/Universal with your request. What likely will happen is that there may be a screening for "entertainment journalists" about a week prior to the premiere. A few days after that, on a weekend, the studio will host a "press junket" at a hotel where the "entertainment journalists" are invited to interview the key cast as well as the Director and Producers.

You are not trying to contact any of the filmmakers to get access to the screening. Instead, you need to speak with someone in Universal marketing. Email and/or call (very very nicely!) until you reach the person who can tell you yes or no.

Good luck!
