  • OpenScreening: Now accepting submissions!

    Do you have a film you’ve made recently? A project in the works you want some fresh eyes on? Something you made back in high school that you think is a hidden gem?

    ATA is once again doing Open Screening on January 7th, and we are looking for your unseen masterpiece! Open Screening is where we invite local filmmakers (that’s you!) to show anything they have had a hand in creating (under 15 mins). The event is 100% FREE to submit to or attend, so why not send us that piece you’ve been working on. We love films and would love to see yours. 


    If you have any submissions or questions, send them to volunteer@atasite.org before January 3rd.
    Livestream Premiere Thursday, January 7th @ 7pm PST

    See you there!
