Top 10 Reasons You Should Submit to the 2013 Broad Humor Film Festival


The 2013 Broad Humor Film Festival submissions open TODAY! For more information on this year's festival, check the website here. (Submitting to this year's short film invitational and screenplay challenge is free for alumnae, so check out the blog post on that here.)
In 2012, my pilot, Empty Nest, won "Best Teleplay," and the festival was a wonderful experience. This year, I'm submitting again (a different project, obviously) and I hope to be able to participate in the festival again!
So, why should you enter your film or script to the Broad Humor Film Festival this year? There are tons of reasons! Here are the top 10:

10) You want a reason to spend a few days in beautiful Venice, CA this September.

9) You're reading this blog, so you're probably aware of the festival already. Why not try to be a part of it?

8) You are trying to make it in the film industry. Getting your work into festivals can't hurt that effort (I'm pretty sure it helps).

7) You are an alumna of the festival (check out the Legacy Project).

6) You've made a film (feature or short) or written a script (feature, short or television) and you're ready to submit it to festivals.

5) Your submission meets the requirements for the festival, and you can pay the submission fee (early bird submissions are cheaper, so hop to it!).

4) You want the opportunity to win an award for your work! An award is a wonderful affirmation, and it certainly doesn't hurt the ol' resume (plus, your mantel wants it!).

3) You want to see your work shown (films) or read live by actors (scripts) alongside other funny films and scripts by other funny women.

2) You want to meet other women filmmakers and writers. You can see screenings and hear readings at the festival, then meet the fantastic women behind those projects. It's a great place to network.

1) You want to support one of the few festivals that is focused on women filmmakers!
