Wealthy Theatre Presents: Open Projector Night: Music Video Edition

Open Projector Night is currently accepting submissions specifically for Michigan made music videos!

What is Open Projector Night?

Open Projector Night is an ongoing film series; its intent is to showcase the diversity of films connected to Michigan and establish a venue to highlight local film in Grand Rapids, MI. Films are selected and curated into a program by a panel of Wealthy Theatre staff and volunteers.

OPN was originally founded in 2012 at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts. Now at its new home: Wealthy Theatre. Open Projector Night, with Grand Rapids Film Society, are programs of Wealthy Theatre and the Grand Rapids Community Media Center; a Non-Profit Organization dedicated to building community through media. OPN is grateful for the generous support of Film & Media Alliance of West Michigan. The FMA promotes and advocates for film & media professionals in West Michigan.

The Michigan Music Alliance is partnering with Open Projector Night to remove barriers to entry by offering a promo code so artists can submit for free.
