- Launched: August 23rd 2005
- Founder(s): Peter Sciretta
- Employees: 5
- History: unched in 2005, the first article posted was written by Zach Lawrence, listing his Top 10 Movies of All Time.
- When: You can listen LIVE every Monday night at 9m Est.

After leaving his job writing for the AOL-owned movie blog, Cinematical, Peter Sciretta created /Film. The site eventually grew to a staff of 20, but Peter decided he wanted a personal approach and downsized to 4-5 full time writers.
His goal was to be a Film news site, always on "the cutting edge of breaking news."http://www.slashfilm.com/the-history-of-film/
The SlashFilm FilmCast

On May 26th 2008, Peter hired the cast of the increasingly popular podcast, The Watchers and launched the site’s regular live podcast, the /Filmcast.
Hosts David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Adam Quigley debate, argue, discuss the latest films, film related news, television shows, and general entertainment items from that week.
