About The Open Mic For Short Films
The Open Mic for Short Films is a new, community oriented event where any filmmaker with a story can share their work in front of a live audience of fellow creators and film lovers. It’s a chance to see and show work from the local community, meet the filmmakers, and mingle with others passionate about film!
The Open Mic For Short Films mission is to provide a place for filmmakers to showcase their narrative works to audience members. By operating in an open mic format, OMSF provides all local filmmakers equal access to screen their short films. Audience members have access to different stories, different art direction and life perspectives not controlled by an algorithm or accountant. OMSF has the freedom to show the kind of unique films that break formulas, try new things, and help the craft evolve - the same kind that Film Festivals and streaming services choose not to support.
OMSF serves as a way for audience members to break free of the algorithm, free of the tastemakers - and find new content they would not have otherwise.
