Submit your film to be a part of a wonderful weekend showcasing creativity, connection, and pure joy at the first annual Hi-Desert Comedy Campout.

This festival will feature a mix of short films, screenings, and live performances that celebrate humor, storytelling, and cinema. It’s the perfect opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work to a like-minded, creative community.

Set against the stunning backdrop of The Palms in Wonder Valley, California, this event is all about celebrating laughter and building community through a diverse range of art forms.

Comedy Campout is the latest bold and boundary-pushing experience founded by Kevin Bone, Vic Terry, and Cassidy Bartolomei, the fabulous and funky folks behind the Wonder Valley Film Fest, the San Diego Halloween Film Festival, and more.

Eligibility: Films of any genre are welcome—a good movie is a good movie! But in order to create a cohesive program, we will prioritize films that include some sort of comedic element. While there is no hard limit on run time, in order to showcase a wide variety of films we would prefer submissions under 15 minutes in length.

Submission Format: Films must be submitted digitally; physical media submissions will not be accepted. If selected, a downloadable copy of the film will be required.

Ownership and Rights: By submitting a film, the filmmaker(s) affirm that they have obtained all necessary rights and permissions for the film's content, including but not limited to music, images, and actors' performances.

Selection Process: Submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee appointed by Good Vibe Cinema and Noble House Media.

Screening: Selected films will be screened throughout the weekend of May 23 - 25, 2025 as part of the Hi-Desert Comedy Campout at The Palms in Wonder Valley, CA.

Filmmaker Attendance: Filmmakers of selected films are encouraged to attend the festival. All selected filmmakers will receive two complimentary passes to the festival.

Promotion: By submitting a film, the filmmaker(s) grant permission for excerpts of the film to be used for promotional purposes related to the festival.

Rights Reserved: Good Vibe Cinema and Noble House Media reserve the right to disqualify any film that violates the rules or terms of the festival or for any other reason deemed necessary by the organizers.

Agreement: Submitting a film to the Hi-Desert Comedy Campout implies acceptance of these rules and terms.
