Rom Com Fest is a film festival that celebrates love through film and experiences. We believe that love is worth celebrating and there is power in a feel-good film.

Rom Com Fest focuses on films that deal with romance and comedy. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us feel something for your characters. We’re looking for empowered and uplifting stories that have us re-thinking the rom com genre.

All films submitted must have a romantic comedy theme. Films can vary in length from two minutes to two hours. We are accepting all types of film (feature film, foreign, shorts, music videos, web series, tv, etc.). If you’re doing something different, we will take a look. Turn in interesting art about love; we will program the festival based on the content received.

Everything at Rom Com Fest will:
-celebrate the power of love
-make us feel things
-reflect the world as it is (diversity, inclusion, truth)

We love love. Do you?

    It was an honour to be included in the first year of this wonderful festival. I attended with our film and the Rom Com fest exceeded all expectations. For a first year event they were operating on a level equal to and greater than other far more established festivals I've been to. The team really care about the films and put incredible effort into every element, film and event included in the program. Highly recommend submitting and attending. I look forward to seeing this event grow and grow.

    I was very fortunate to have my feature selected for the first year of the Rom Com Fest. It was a blast! The hosts are terrific and the screenings were well attended and the festival received a lot of great press. Festival founder Miraya Berke, is a top notch festival organizer, and after participating in over 30 fests in the last year, I was really impressed how organized everything was, which far too often, is not the case.

    This is a festival that seems destined to grow. Try to get in now. It's a great time.
