Program Description

The Austin Comedy Short Film Festival is a bi-annual event that started in 2015. Our 10th event will take place on October 13, 2019 at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Lakeline. For filmmakers, we showcase comedy films, web series episodes, mockumentary films and Comedy TV Pilots (Sitcoms). For screenwriters and filmmakers we have 5 Nominations for each of our submission categories and present certificates to the winners at our event. Submitting a screenplay to the Austin Comedy Short Film Festival is about recognition, by a panel of judges that take the time to read and rate every screenplay submission from beginning to end.
