The Emerging Filmmakers Project (EFP) has been showcasing the best of Colorado's indie film scene since 2002. Held the third Thursday of every month and curated and hosted by a board of volunteers from the local film community, the EFP is a great place to screen your work, network with other creatives in town, and support your fellow indie filmmakers.

A spirited talkback with each filmmaker follows their movie where you, the audience, get to tell the filmmaker exactly what you think of their work!
