AoBFF Comedy Short Script Contest

FUNNY PEOPLE: Enter your comedy TV and short film scripts to the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival's new COMEDY SHORTS contest!

The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival continues our 14th season with the launch of our first Genre Screenplay Contest! Enter your COMEDY scripts (pilot, episodic, or short film) and make sure they're no longer than 40 pages.

Our Policy on using AI to read and score screenplays:

A.I. SHOULD NEVER WRITE SCREENPLAYS. IT SHOULDN'T READ THEM, EITHER.

Technology — no matter how advanced — can never replace the human creative spirit. When a writer pours their heart and soul into a screenplay, they deserve consideration, respect, and constructive feedback from a real human expert… not artificial 'intellgence. Show More

ABOUT THE ART OF BROOKLYN:
The future of narrative storytelling is in the hands of the next generation of writers — and THE ART OF BROOKLYN believes in celebrating diverse creative voices from all over the world.

AoBFF is a an award-winning international film festival and platform designed to connect Brooklyn's vibrant indie scene with their peers around the world. Founded by working artists in 2011, we are an event and showcase for emerging creators and established voices.

We are generating significant growth each year with an expanding international footprint among audiences, filmmakers, screenwriters, and the entertainment industry. Over 35 of our premieres have gained distribution — and one became an HBO series.

We are a fully hybrid festival, producing live, in person screenings in neighborhoods across Brooklyn and streaming encore screenings and panels to an international audience, with studio grade DRM protection via the Eventive Festival Platform.

Equity is organic to our mission. We bridge the opportunity divide by making media accessible to everyone, including those who are underrepresented on either side of the camera.

We have a Transparent and Ethical Submission Policy in which every film and screenplay we receive until midnight of the last day of late submissions is viewed in its entirety and considered for programming. We never pre-select films for competition, fill a template or set our schedule before submissions close.
