On the evening of Weds, May 30th, we will be holding our 3rd annual sketch comedy film festival, which will feature shorts by comedians and funny filmmakers from Philadelphia and beyond. The film festival will coincide with our 4-day live festival, which runs from May 31st through June 3rd. The film fest will begin at 7:30pm at the PSF Roxy Theater.
Last year, we had an incredibly successful turnout for the Film Festival portion of Philly Sketchfest. We were honored to have such an incredible array of hilarious films from both local and out-of-town comedians and filmmakers, and hope to get just as many great entries this year! The submission fee for this year’s film fest is only $5.
