MADE IN STL is an open house presenting locally-made short films of all shapes, sizes and genres. Come and see what the 314 has to offer! This event is totally free, and we encourage you to drop in and drop out as you like.

Interested in submitting a film? Great!

All submissions must be made in the St. Louis area and be under 20 minutes long. Otherwise, we’ll take pretty much anything you’ve got. A documentary, comedy sketch, experimental whatsit, some crap you and your friends made in the backyard during high school? We’ll take it all and more!

Submissions are limited to one per filmmaker and will be accepted until 11:59 PM on September 1.
