Open Projector Night

We had such a good time at the 1st Open Projector Night, that we’ve decided to put one on each month of Spring Semester! They will be held on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm.

Here are the dates:

April 24th at 7:00

Just bring in your film on the day of the event, between 6:00 and 6:30pm to see it projected on the big screen! Hosted by various members of the hilarious OU Improv Troupe. An audience APPLAUSE-O-METER will decide the winner. Prizes TBA. Admission to the event is FREE thanks to Arts for Ohio.

Thank you to all who participated in making the 1st Ever Open Projector Night a success! Special thanks to Joe LaLonde and Patrick White, our hilarious emcees from the OU Improv Troupe! And congratulations to Brandon Ivey who won the Audience Applause Award for “Trash Thieves”.

Here are the rules:

We’ll play anything you’ve made that’s under 8 minutes long and is brought to us on a DVDor BLU-ray (one film per person, and DVDs must be playable on a regular DVD player). Submissions are only taken on the day of the event, and all entries MUST BE RECEIVED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE ACTUAL SHOW (we cannot accept films after the show has begun, or during intermission). All films are played in the order they’re received.  Remember, the audience decides the winner, so keep them happy!

PLEASE NOTE: We only take the first 10 films that are brought in and the spots usually fill up very fast.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Since we don’t pre-screen Open Projector entries, we don’t know what each month’s “film content” rating will be. Be advised that some material may not be suitable for all audiences.

The Impossible

Watch Trailer Director: Juan Antonio Bayona
Writer(s): Sergio G. Sanchez
Cast: Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor
Awards: Academy Award Nomination for Best Actress

Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her.

‘The Impossible” is the powerful and unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives.
