New Orleans Comedy Film Festival

The New Orleans Comedy Film Festival’s mission is to promote and preserve the impact of comedy as a back channel to poignancy and human connection by getting a group of people in the same room and then making them laugh together. 2020 is a good year to start a brand new comedy film festival. Capitalizing on this science, the New Orleans Comedy Film Festival will mount its inaugural festival with bright, shiny optimism and sensible, realistic goals. We believe the result of bringing creative minds together to exhibit their work and collectively experience comedy is a powerful one. We aim to nurture the relationship of filmmaker to audience, and commit to fostering a space where artists can feel appreciated and filmgoers can leave with a light heart and full brain. New Orleans is one of the most magnetic cities for art of all kinds, and it is our goal to include comedy films into the mix. As we begin this Adventure of a Lifetime, we know there are many facets of the event that will evolve, grow, and sometimes be a matter of trial and error. But one tenant that we will hold sacred throughout the process is transparency and open communication. The learning process can be improved when we work together, and we welcome any feedback. NOTE: we are only issuing a very limited number of waivers on a case by case basis for special circumstances, but we do have a discount code for Louisiana and especially New Orleans residents, and there is a lower fee for student films. For the locals discount code, please send an email to info@nocff.com.
