ChattaMovies, a local moviemaker group, and earLuminators, a local production group, will be
co-hosting two “Open Screen Night” events at Cine-Rama, 100 W. Main St., at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13 and Saturday Sept. 10.
Open Screen Night is a screening of an hour and a half of independently-produced short
works including those submitted by movie makers from Chattanooga and the surrounding
region. Admission for the event is free.
The three Open Screen Nights are held throughout the year. The first was held in March. The next two will be August and September. Many genres are represented in the mix of entries, from music videos and comedies, to documentaries and dramas.
The works voted as Audience Favorites at the three Open Screen Nights in Chattanooga will
be screened at a “Best of Open Screen Night” event held at a major Theatre in Chattanooga.
Jim Smith, EarLuminator producer and one of the event’s organizers, says he thinks of Open
Screen Night as an “open mic night” for indie movie makers. “We don’t jury the submissions.
So everyone’s film has a chance to be seen. There are some very talented people submitting
their work, and a great way to support the local indie artist than to watch their works being
screened.”
