Flowfeel Fests and Contests

Flowfeel Fests and Contests Great American Script Contest + LACFF open on FilmFreeway and ISA. Management and development FlowFeel Arts 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. The fest is now going into its 7th year and is growing. We showcase shorts, features, web series, and student work. We welcome the 1 minute music video as well as t

he 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.

Fests like ours used to be about building toward a goal of distribution.
But in today’s industry, it can’t be the only goal. 🎯
Too many filmmakers are chasing “getting picked up” while giving away control, audience access, and long-term leverage in the process.

The real shift?
Audience building is part of the creative work now. And the right festival, the right team is a huge asset to you! 🔔

We help you build relationships directly with people — before, during, and after the project.

That’s part of what we’ve been doing at FlowFeel for almost 15 years through our festivals, alumni network, and creator community: helping filmmakers, actors, writers, and digital creators grow both the work and the audience around it. Nothing new to us!

Hollywood is hybrid now.
The pipeline isn’t just about access anymore — it’s about sustainability. That's where we come in! (www.Flowfeelfilms.com)
