Open Screen Los Angeles

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.

Step 2: Bring your file to the show on a USB hard drive. Videos play on a first come first serve basis until we hit 90 minutes.
