🎬 Tonight: The Emerging Filmmakers Project

Third Thursday = film family reunion. 🎥🐞

The Emerging Filmmakers Project returns tonight — the home of Denver’s independent film scene since 2002.

That’s 20+ years of local filmmakers screening bold, weird, brilliant work right here at The Bug. 💛

Curated and hosted by volunteers from the local film community, The EFP is where:
🎬 New films get their first audience
🎤 Filmmakers get real-time feedback
🤝 Creatives meet future collaborators
🔥 And the indie spirit stays very alive

And yes — the talkback is part of the magic. After each film, you get to tell the filmmaker exactly what you think. Spirited? Sometimes. Supportive? Always.

Plus, your $5 ticket includes FREE beer (21+ w/ valid ID) courtesy of Ratio Beerworks.

🕖 Doors 6:30pm | Show 7:00pm
🎟 $5 at the door only at the door

If you love Colorado film, want to make Colorado film, or just want to support the scene — this is your night. 🐞🎬

🎬 Tonight: The Emerging Filmmakers Project

Denver’s indie film heartbeat has been pulsing for over 20 years — and it’s still going strong. 🖤🎬

Held every third Thursday, the EFP is curated and hosted by volunteers from our local film community and remains one of the best places in town to screen your work, meet fellow creatives, and support indie film.

You’ll catch a fresh lineup of short films, followed by our signature spirited talkback, where the audience gets to engage directly with the filmmakers — questions, reactions, praise, and all.

🕖 Doors at 6:30pm | Show at 7:00pm
🎟️ $5 only at the door
🍺 Free beer from Ratio Beerworks (21+ w/ valid ID)

Support local filmmakers. Meet your creative neighbors. See something new tonight. 🎬💛
