NO MERCY • Short Film Screening, Open Mic Video Night & Filmmaker Showcase.

NO MERCY
LIVE FROM THE DOJO (inside DIPiazzas)
Open Mic Video Night & Short Film Screening (Long Beach, CA)
Presented by LBVM (The Pound Video Magazine)

NO MERCY is a live open mic video night where anything can hit the screen.

Short films, music videos, comedy clips, YouTube edits, experimental work… if it’s under 5 minutes, it’s eligible.

You can submit a video or just pull up and be part of the crowd.

HOW TO SUBMIT:

Option 1 (Day of event FREE):
🕓 4:00 PM – 4:30 PM SHARP
No late entries. No exceptions.
VIDEOS START PLAYING AT 5PM SHARP

Option 2 (Skip the line $20):
Submit early via FilmFreeway
👉 filmfreeway.com/NOMERCYDOJO

IMPORTANT (IN PERSON SUBMISSIONS):
No links. No AirDrop. No excuses.
Hard drives or USB only.

If you miss the window, you’re in the crowd.

HOW IT WORKS:

All videos go into the Dojo Bowl and get pulled at random.
No curation. No politics. Everyone has the same odds.

Once your video starts, you get 60 seconds to win the room.

If the crowd is into it, it keeps playing.
If not, it gets cut and we move on.

It’s fast, unpredictable, and loud.

A live panel of filmmakers and comedians reacts in real time, and every creator gets a quick interview about their work.

The entire night is filmed and released on YouTube, giving everyone exposure beyond the room.

At the end of the night, the crowd votes for the Audience Award Winner. *Prize included

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Open mic style video showcase
• Short films, music videos, comedy, anything goes
• Live crowd reactions + panel feedback
• Drinks, music, and a packed room
• Audience voting + winner of the night
• A full night out, not a film festival
