Flowfeel discovers emerging writers and creators—and helps move standout work forward. The fest is now going into its 7th year and is growing. Youtube.

The Chicago Comedy Film Festival was founded in 2010 with our first fest launching in 2011. The festival originated with the idea that a) comedy needs more support and b) Chicago needs to showcase local and international comedy talent. We showcase shorts, features, web series, and student work. We welcome the 1 minute music video as well as the touching feature comedy. We aim to showcase smart comedy and prove that comedy has something to say. Over time comedy filmmakers find themselves struggling to be considered equal to serious and experimental works of art. Chicago Comedy Film Festival is ran and organized by artists in the Chicago creative community that value comedy as vital and influential art form. We welcome all filmmakers to submit their work, both first time filmmakers as well as larger budget films. We support and aim to showcase a variety of budgetary works and want to both award achievement as well as put at the forefront rising talent in comedy filmmaking.

WEEKLY HACK: THINK VERTICAL. THINK BIGGER. 📱

We've talked abou it before and the boom continues. The next big opportunity in entertainment might fit in the palm of your hand!

Studios and distributors are transforming traditional film and television content into vertical microdramas — and opening new doors for independent filmmakers, writers, and emerging creators.

💡 3 WAYS TO GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE:

🔥 1. THINK BEYOND THE HORIZONTAL SCREEN.
Vertical storytelling isn't just cropping footage! Rethink your framing, pacing, and visual storytelling for mobile audiences. Your next project could be designed for the screen people use most.

🎥 2. MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT.
Microdramas often run just 1–3 minutes per episode. Grab attention immediately, build conflict quickly, and leave viewers wanting more. Strong hooks and cliffhangers are your new best friends!

💰 3. TURN ONE STORY INTO MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES.
Already have a screenplay, short film, or series concept? Explore how your characters and stories could expand into vertical episodes, spin-offs, or digital-first content. One great idea can have multiple lives — and potential revenue streams!

✨ THE FLOWFEEL TAKEAWAY: New formats mean new opportunities to develop, test, and share your work! No matter where you are!

👇 CREATORS: Got questions? Contact us!

📖 Inspired by Señal News: Vertical Content — Adapting Long-Form IP to Mobile Screens.

We’re not building contests and festivals around laurels.

We’ve BUILT them around real creative community and opportunity!

At Flowfeel, our contests, fests, and projects are designed to be more than a submission portal. They’re part of a larger mission: to bring indie-driven writers, filmmakers, actors, and creators to community, collaboration, and REAL opportunity.

That means we’re looking for work we believe in—and creators we want to keep BUILDING with!

A script contest can lead to a table read.
A table read can lead to a proof of concept.
A proof of concept can lead to new collaborators, industry introductions, and the next step in your creative career.

We've created spaces where independent creators are not just judged, but seen, supported, and connected.

This isn’t about waiting for permission.
It’s about building —and inviting the right people in.

Flowfeel is creator-powered, community-centered, and built for the next wave of RISING voices.

From our management side --
Your Project Needs an Audience Before It Can Gain an AUDIENCE!

So many indie creators are doing everything alone. 📺
Writing alone.
Editing alone.
Posting alone.
Guessing alone.
🌎 Trying to figure out what the industry wants alone.
But creative careers don’t grow in isolation. They grow when the right people can see the work, respond to it, sharpen it, share it, and help it move.

That’s why Flowfeel has BUILT a curated creative community for indie actors, writers, filmmakers, and creators who are ready to be seen more clearly.

A place with direction, strategy, collaboration, and momentum.
Because sometimes the difference between a project sitting on your laptop and a project becoming something real is who SEES it first.

🎬 How to Network at a Film Festival (Without Being THAT Person!)

🚨 STOP TRYING TO MEET THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE ROOM.

Some of the best industry connections happen in line for a screening, at the hotel lobby, or in a conversation you almost didn't have.

Here's how to make those moments count:

🎯 BE CURIOUS, NOT TRANSACTIONAL. Don't lead with your pitch. Ask people about their work, their projects, and what brought them to the festival. Genuine conversations go further than business cards.

🤝 NETWORK SIDEWAYS. Don't spend the entire festival chasing producers, agents, and executives. The filmmaker sitting next to you could be your next collaborator — or the person hiring you five years from now.

📲 FOLLOW UP! A quick message after the festival can turn a five-minute conversation into a lasting connection. Mention something specific you discussed and keep the relationship going.

🎥 The goal isn't to meet EVERYONE.

It's to makequality connections that actually LAST.

At Flowfeel, we believe festivals should be more than a moment of recognition. They're an opportunity to build community, create connections, and move your career forward.

Show up. Be genuine. Stay connected.

🎬 INDUSTRY INSIGHT — Going Viral Can Give You a Moment. Building a Career Takes More!

A million views can open a door.
But what happens AFTER the moment matters more.

In today's entertainment industry, visibility is valuable.

But here's what builds-

🎯 DEVELOP YOUR CRAFT. Trends come and go. Strong storytelling, creative consistency, and professional skills give you something valuable beyond the algorithm.

💡 KNOW YOUR VALUE. Understand what makes your voice, perspective, or creative work distinct. Give audiences and industry professionals a reason to invest in what you do NEXT.

🚀 THINK BEYOND THE MOMENT. Know what you're building toward. Your next project, your audience, your long-term goals. Make every opportunity part of a bigger plan.

At Flowfeel, we believe the future of entertainment belongs to creators who can turn visibility into opportunity — and opportunity into sustainable careers.

You don't need to go viral to move forward.
You need to keep moving.

Create where you are. Connect where it counts. Build what's NEXT! 🎥

🎬 You've seen the posts and follow-up click-bait posts...

Industry executives are calling for more independent films.

And indie filmmakers are responding:

WE'RE ALREADY MAKING THEM! 🎥

They're partially right.

But making an indie film and making a marketable, financially viable indie film are two different ballgames.

Here's what matters:

🎯 AUDIENCE: Who is your film for, and how will you reach them?
💰 BUDGET: Does the investment make sense for the potential market?
🎬 POSITIONING: What makes your project stand out to buyers?
📣 DISTRIBUTION: What's the plan for getting your film seen?

At Flowfeel, we believe the industry's biggest opportunity isn't simply producing MORE content, it's know how to build the RIGHT content and who to get it in front of.

That means thinking beyond production. Developing projects strategically, building industry relationships, and understanding where your work fits in a changing business.

Make the movie. Know the market. Then... 🚀

⭐ GOOD NEWS FOR CREATORS ⭐

Yes, Hollywood is changing. We’re seeing it firsthand—on the ground in LA and across the digital world.

But change means new ways in. 📣

Studios still matter. So do living rooms turned into editing suites. So do creators building audiences before they ever enter a pitch room. So do writers, filmmakers and actors creating great work hundreds—or thousands—of miles from Hollywood.

The industry is becoming hybrid:
Part traditional Hollywood.
Part creator economy.
Part indie ecosystem.

At Flowfeel, we’ve been working across this model for 16+ years.

Create where you are.
Connect where it counts.
Build RIGHT NOW!

You don’t have to wait until you “make it to Hollywood” to start building a Hollywood career.
Good news. Hollywood isn’t disappearing. The map is getting bigger.

We’re not disrupting Hollywood.
We’re building it! Contact us now for a deeper dive! Brent .com
