Critic Community Manager

Rotten Tomatoes

Sophie-Marie Prime is critic community manager at Rotten Tomatoes, where she specializes in growing the site’s pool of Tomatometer-approved critics and provides career and educational support for underrepresented journalists. As the 2018-19 Rotten Tomatoes fellow in Digital Innovation and Film Criticism, she worked with the Critic Relations team to support its newly-launched critic criteria and application process, and developed an editorial column that spotlights rising and established voices in the community, before joining the team full-time.

Since joining Rotten Tomatoes in 2019, Prime has helped create change within the entertainment industry through her work with Rotten Tomatoes-sponsored initiatives aimed at increasing inclusion and diversity among film and TV critics. In August 2021, she was a key member of the team who launched “RT Labs,” an educational resource program, designed to support aspiring critics in their career development and features recorded panel discussions and classes with industry experts.
