Make us laugh. Make us scream. Or both.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of Summer 2022, the Complex (our venue since the beginning) is under negotiations with landlord to keep the space open past 12/31/2022. Therefore, the format, venue and dates are subject to change. Which means, if the Complex closes, we will have to secure a new venue. If that is not possible, we will have to be on-line (which we did when the pandemic prohibited in-person events in 2020 and 2021). Fortunately, we were on-line in 2021 and our format was innovative and collaborative, and kept with the spirit of our festival (including interviews with filmmakers and round table discussions with screenwriters). We don't know what 2023 will bring, but will keep you posted. Please be aware of the situation, as we may have limited options. Our choice is ALWAYS to have in-person events when possible (and safe).
UPDATE: Jan 2023
Based on updates from the venue, the Complex is closed as of Dec 31, 2022, but has indicated it may be returning in the Spring. It's complicated, but apparently, they are working on historical status (a motion is pending with the city council), which would most likely mean the Complex can return. Will continue to update as we get info.
The Die Laughing Film Festival recognizes the fine line that separates fear and comedy and celebrates both with a festival dedicated to comedy films and horror films created by independent film makers.
We also host a Screenwriters Workshop and guest panelists included staff writers from Marvel's Jessica Jones and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In addition to having a live scripted reading of scenes from selected screenplays, we also had a lively Q and A with our guests.
Come join us in 2023 for the 6th Annual Die Laughing Film Festival.
If you dare.
