Tonight - Open Screen Night w/ Free Beer!


Wanna win $100 for drinking a free beer? Tonight’s Open Screen Night is the show for you!

See, here’s the deal: at every Open Screen Night, we play whatever people bring to the theater with them, and we buy everyone who brings a video to play a free beer just for helping out with the show. At the end of the night, the audience votes on their favorite video of the evening and then the winner gets $100 in cash. Usually, the competition for the money is pretty fierce, with filmmakers from all over Austin bringing in their most recent work, collectors bringing in their favorite oddball finds, and oddballs bringing in their favorite episodes of Friends that they think it’d be funny to make us watch on the big screen. But this month, most of the filmmakers who would normally come out are all busy trying to finish up their Unnecessary Sequels projects, so the number of people who will have something to bring to Open Screen Night will probably be much lower than usual. That’s bad for us, but it’s good for you! The $100 prize has never been easier to grasp!

Of course, now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag, maybe all sorts of new people will come out to show their videos, but even if that makes the $100 harder to win, it should make for an even more fun show than usual, so go shoot a quick video, bring it down to the theater, and prepare to have your mind ripped open by the most free-form short film contest of all time.

Get advance tickets here and we'll see you at the show!
