For all of you up-and-coming filmmakers who are young, hungry, and oh-so-crazy-talented in this rough and tumble two bit tinseltown, Los Angeles Center Studios has the perfect film competition for you.
Working with industry professionals is all well and good, but what if we wanted something new, something different? The good news is that we want to share that sweet, sweet #LACSLife with you. For the first time ever we’re opening up our facilities to one lucky, young filmmaker! Surprisingly one of the most difficult aspects of making a movie is finding a place where people can watch it. (Always sweat the small stuff.) Los Angeles Center Studios wants to help. Creativity goes hand in hand with LACS, and this is your opportunity to be a part of it. Won’t you join us?

Beginning March 16th and ending April 17th, the Los Angeles Center Studios Young Filmmaker Competition invites all young creators aged 18-30 to submit their film for the chance to win a state-of-the-art 400-seat theater screening event for their film. This means that you get to invite whomever you want to your screening! Send an invitation to the President. We’re not gonna stop you. You provide the entertainment and bodies, we provide the venue!
Your magnum opus (so far). We want to see what you’ve got, so send us a trailer. This is your chance to wow us.
