What is Open Screen?Open Screen is an open mic night for filmmakers.
Share your film the way it was intended, projected in a dark room with lively strangers. Whether you sold your home to finance your 35mm feature, or you made it last night in your parent's garage - if your movie (or part thereof) is under 10 minutes, we'll screen it.
How to Show Your Video1. Buy a "Screening Slot" ticket
2. Bring your video file on a USB hard drive the night of the show
3. Arrive at 7pm (we need time to load your file)
* You do not need to submit your video ahead of time
WaitlistIf "Screening Slot" tickets are sold out, you can buy a "General Admission" ticket and bring your video file anyway. We always have some extra time at the end of the program, but no guarantees.
