With New Facebook Integration, Prescreen Relaunches To Make Movie Discovery More Social

Screen shot 2012-02-23 at 6.42.15 AMIndependent filmmakers have a pretty tough when it comes to marketing and promoting their films; they really don't have the resources or tools required to expand their outreach, and get in front of new eyeballs.
