The popular monthly film open mic, Open Screen LA, returns on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, featuring an adjusted early schedule at The Lyric Hyperion Theater & Bar in Los Angeles.
South Pasadena filmmakers should note that this specific session begins earlier than the standard monthly time. Doors and sign-ups open at 4:30 PM to accommodate the evening’s program and community afterparty.
