Call for Comedy Films In Maine to AIFF in Florida

Dear AIFF Friends:

Interesting e-mail I received today that I want to share with you. Just this morning in finalizing our Submission Application Form for this Friday's release on our website, we added a Comedy Category for consideration. Let's see what happens in the next six weeks!!

Thanks to all,
Tony McAdoo

HERE IS THE LETTER

Comic Arts Laugh Festival @ Belfast, Maine www.comicartsfest.com April 9-13 /08

This is a call for comedy or humorous film submissions.

Films can be actual films or digital.

Film and digital arts submissions are as folows.

In 2008 we have to move very quickly. We’ll develop further and infinitely more complicated submission standards as we go along.

All films are open for submission as long as they are clearly humorous. Anything funny is on the table. Funny: ha-ha Funny: bad milk. Both ok. Black (the humor not the color skin) humor, dour humor, or ghoulish or sophomoric or doo-fus, amateurish, dirty, stupid, sweet, erotic…… it is all welcome. Yes: even your stupid youtube.com stuff is welcome for consideration.

Only DVD’s or web links will be considered for submissions. Do not send a 35mm print under any circumstances. You can send us a link to a web based video for consideration. You agree to provide us with a DVD for the showing if your film is accepted.

If a film has been shown and reviewed by multiple reviewers that will suffice for us to consider it as a submission. Please advise us.

If the film has been shown before or published on the web we do not care. Your work is welcome.

We can show either DVD or 35MM at the festival. A DVD makes it more likely that we’ll choose to show your movie as it will make it easier in the technical department.

Please send your DVD with a cover letter to CALF 93 Main Street Belfast, Maine 04915.

Clearly mark your DVD and the DVD case with your movie name and all contact information.

If you want your DVD back please include a prepaid mailer. If we do not receive a prepaid mailer we will not be able to send it back.

There is no submission charge.

We will notify you if the film is accepted.

Films will be chosen by April 1st at the latest.

Prizes to be announced.
