The first of three Open Screen Nights to show works by regional filmmakers is scheduled Saturday at the Heritage House in East Brainerd.
The evening is sponsored by ChattaMovies, a local independent moviemaker group, along with the city of Chattanooga's Department of Education Arts & Culture and the Chattanooga Southeast Tennessee Film Commission.
About two hours of independently produced short works submitted by moviemakers from Chattanooga and the surrounding region will be screened.
Organizers say many genres will be represented in the mix of entries. Works voted as audience favorites at the three Open Screen Nights in Chattanooga and Atlanta will be screened at year's end at the Best of Open Screen Night 2012.
Organizer Jim Smith, a producer with the production company EarLuminator, says he thinks of Open Screen Night as an "open-mike night" for indie moviemakers.
