Bluish Barn

Now that budget cuts have forced the Michigan Theater’s Cinema Slam to end its showcasing of local short films, we here at the Bluish Barn want to step in and offer local filmmakers a venue for their work. Filmmakers can drop off DVD or VHS copies of anything under 20 minutes, clearly labeled with contact info, on our front porch at 712 N 5th Ave. We’ll watch it, and if we like it, we’ll screen it before one of our features. If not, we’ll return it to you. We can’t promise any awards or intelligent feedback, but our audience here tends to be pretty open-minded and appreciative of local projects. At the very least, we can get your film watched on a big screen by and audience of people who you don’t know.

And don’t worry, the Bluish Barn will not be affected by any future moratorium on state grants, since we receive no government funding. Our budget is never threatened because we don’t have a budget.
