My first free film was A Cinderella Story back in 2004 (had to look at IMDB to check the year!) it was an ad on the local radio where you had to text in for free tickets and I won a set of tickets and my then 14 year old DD when on a Sunday morning. Had never heard of free screenigs before then.

I can't remember when I discovered seefilmfirst and started going regularly but it must have been 2007 or earlier as they invited me to apply to be an ambassador in mid july 2007 (never got to be one though). I cant remember my first free film with seefilmfirst, but once I started there was no stopping me, lost count of the amount of free films over the years but getting to do one of your favourite things for free is great - love FMUK one of my favourite sites (came to the original site from MSE a few years ago) and is always open when i'm online.

I agree hdaniel82, I'm SE London, but going to Wandsworth cineworld always seems like a schlep!

Mine was Sweeney Todd when I first moved to London through the Timeout screenings. It was the first one I entered and still the only one of their films I've managed to get free tickets for.

My first preview was Sin Nombre at Odeon Covent Garden on the 11th of August 2009. Surprisingly, it was a Time-Out screening, literally the only one I ever managed to get through them. The next one was for Funny People through TellTen at the Wandsworth Town Cineworld on the 24th of August 2009. Finally, the first SeeFilmFirst one I had was for Away We Go, at the West India Quay Cineworld on the 1st of September 2009.
