CALL FOR ORIGINAL WORKS!

Our LIMA Comunidad Weekend is growing, and this year we’re bringing stories to life on the page AND on the screen!

We’re looking for original scripts, screenplays, episodics, and plays under 10 minutes, plus a NEW addition this year: short films under 10–15 minutes to be considered for our LIMA Film Showcase.

This is about creating space for independent storytellers, celebrating original work, and giving nuestra comunidad an opportunity to experience the stories being created right here.

Submissions open August 17 – September 17

Writers + Filmmakers, we want to see your work!
