Rough Cuts Open Mic on Wednesday
Great news, after a small delay of 1 week. We are back to screening your films this month as the usual time and place. I cant wait to see you all again.
Philadelphia, 19123
How it works:
If you want to watch films + meet filmmakers, show up.
You might wish to ask a question too or offer feedback after the film plays.
If you want to show your film, show up and sign up on the paper in the back of the room. We don't have a set order of what films we play, we don't pre-screen the films. Films can be finished or unfinished. Your film can be shown via a link or a hard drive. We do ask that it is recent work (within 3 years) and under 10min.
We do reserve half of the screening slots for any self-identified minority. We also bounce around the list for the sake of time, diversity of projects, frequency, and experience levels.

- it is getting to be Sweater weather, here is one with a Rough Cuts Logo
- You might have played with AI by now, this course from Muse is the best I have found and constantly getting updated. If you are creating work with clients and you want chatGPT to help you from pre-production through post. This workflow is solid, I have been using it for my next documentary. Still requires human creative skills, just helps move faster on those passion projects.
Thanks, and see you soon.

The 1st Wednesday is days away, which means it is time for Rough Cuts. The details follow but first I want to thank the 100+ filmmakers that have shown up for the events this winter. Last month we skipped the screening but had a lot of awesome conversations and I got to meet many people I only know from the internet. This month we are screening projects like usual, I am always amazed by the films we get to show, the talented filmmakers, and the insightful feedback you give each other. You are...

It is always such a pleasure when the first Wednesday of the month comes around. last month was a so great, it really is awesome to see 80 filmmakers come together and offer advice, share tips and tricks. I think I am most proud of watching people building collaborations that start as a small project and then grow in a years long partnerships, business partners, Director/DP duos. Thank you for showing up for each other, showing up for whatever films we play this week. ** ROUGH CUTS IS Live...
