Welcome to Fun Size Cinema: A Chicago Comedy Screening, an event dedicated to celebrating the humor, creativity, and unique voices of our city’s comedic talent. As the comedy capital of the world, Chicago has been the launchpad for some of the greatest entertainers, and this screening series continues that tradition by highlighting short comedic films and sketches created by local filmmakers, performers, comedians, and improvisers.

Through curated screenings, engaging discussions, and opportunities to network with peers and industry professionals, we aim to celebrate the comedic spirit that makes Chicago a cultural powerhouse.

WHAT KIND OF MEDIA DO YOU ACCEPT?
We recognize comedic shorts and sketches have a lot of overlap. We happily accept both and anything in between - comedic docs, music videos, etc.

If you’re submitting a short film, it should be no longer than 20 minutes. Sketches may range from 3-10 minutes, but we’re flexible.

WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIFICATIONS FOR FILM SUBMISSIONS (GENRE, QUALITY)?
We include comedy across genre / approach. If you have a comedy horror, comedy doc, comedy music video, comedy whatever, send it in! We WILL screen for quality of production. We’re not asking you to be Steven Spielberg, but please don’t hurt our ears.

WHEN WILL I BE NOTIFIED OF MY SUBMISSION STATUS?
We’ll be holding screenings once every three months and accept / review submissions on a rolling basis. The submission deadline applies to the current cycle, but if you're not selected for the current round, don't fret! You can always submit again for the next round of screenings.
