the 2014 event will be different than year's past

For the past seven years the OTS8 event has held the 'call for filmmakers' in Dec/Jan and hosted the live screening in April. Well, this year we've decided to change things up! Wouldn't it be great to shoot your films in the summer months as opposed to always in the winter? We thought so too. Stay tuned for our 2014 schedule which will be posted soon...or soon-ish. First we are looking for color film before we announce details, and this could take a while. So cross your fingers!

Thanks y'all.

Could this be reel?

In December 2013, Kodak announced that they will no longer be producing the Ektachrome 100D color Super 8 film. And the other color films that they have in stock won't work for this event. So what are we going to do??? Well, this certainly encourages us to be creative and do some research. Should we host an all black-and-white film event? Or will we get lucky and find color film somewhere out there, that's affordable and trustworthy? Only time will tell. We'll keep you posted!

Year #seven killed it!

This event is never boring. EVER! It just gets better and better. We had approx 200 people in attendance throughout the night and 30 very successful and enjoyable films were screened. Here are a few highlights from the evening. For more photos, visit this album on our Facebook page.

Welcome everyone!

 Pretty faces and pizza eaters greet guests.

Final screening adjustments. 

 Free popcorn and peanuts for all.

 

The screening kicked off with a hilarious film about a cat. 

 By far the best live performance of the evening!
