Open Cinema

Maven Cinema in American Fork, Utah, is delighted to announce its highly anticipated event, “Open Cinema,” scheduled for December 5th at 9:00 PM. Similar to the popular concept of “Open Mic Night” for singers and comedians, “Open Cinema” offers aspiring filmmakers a unique platform to showcase their talent on the big screen.

This exciting event invites filmmakers from across the region to participate, providing them with an opportunity to share their creative works in a real theater setting. For a nominal fee of $5, filmmakers can present their projects, whether it’s a music video, a short film, a movie trailer, or a comedy sketch. This initiative aims to empower local talent, allowing them to have their creations screened in a professional theater environment, gaining exposure and connecting with fellow artists and film enthusiasts.

Warren Workman, the organizer of the event and the driving force behind the Utah International Film Festival, shared his enthusiasm: “Open Cinema celebrates the vibrant filmmaking community we have here in Utah. It’s a testament to the creativity and talent of our local filmmakers. We are thrilled to provide this platform for them to shine.”

To participate in “Open Cinema,” interested filmmakers are encouraged to reach out to Warren Workman at info@utahfilmfestival.com. Due to limited spaces, early registration is highly recommended to secure a spot in this exciting event.

Maven Cinema, located at 120 W Main St, American Fork, UT 84003, stands as Utah’s only Retro/Indie theater, showcasing classic films like Bambi and Shawn of the Dead, as well as local indie productions including Lore and They Live Inside Us. “Open Cinema” perfectly aligns with the cinema’s mission to foster creativity and community engagement.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness the diverse and innovative works of local filmmakers. Join us at Maven Cinema on December 5th at 9:00 PM for a night of cinematic exploration and inspiration.
