    What a wonderful time at the Hollywood Comedy Shorts Film Festival! Thank you Daniel and Theo for hosting our LA Premiere! The quality of films we got a chance to see was impressive and inspiring- especially in the RomCom block where our film Puppet Seizure screened. The staff did a fantastic job with the entire weekend, starting with the Filmmaker's Welcome Party on Friday where we got a chance to meet our fellow filmmakers and network. Thank you for everything! We will definitely be back.

    This was our first experience attending Hollywood Comedy Shorts Film Festival for our satire, Asking For It and we had a great time! The people who run this festival are super organized, very friendly, and generous. The tacos and beer filmmaker meet was fun and gave us a chance to meet others and talk in a casual setting which we appreciated so much. They do an excellent job communicating with filmmakers, as well as promoting the work on their social media platforms. We felt supported throughout. The theater was new and films were really great. We enjoyed it and look forward to attending again. THANK YOU Hollywood Comedy Shorts!
