Our Mission

The Broad Humor Film Festival is a women's comedy film festival that takes place every Labor Day Weekend in sunny SoCal California. The festival focuses exclusively on comedic films written

and directed by women. Begun in 2005, Broad Humor brings together female writers and directors for a weekend of screenings, readings and events with the aim of fostering greater opportunity for

women as the creators of film content.

Natalie & Tara - Class of '25

I had such a wonderful experience being part of the Board Humor Film Festival screenplay competition! The festival hosted a fantastic table read of our script — the actors it was

phenomenal to hear our work read by actors and all the other scripts were really strong.
After the read, there was a cocktail hour with incredible snacks and drinks, I was blown away by the experience, I felt so fancy. I also attended the Filmmaker & Writer’s Brunch, which was equally lovely. Their guest speaker, Lee Jessup, was incredibly informative and inspiring —

her insights into screenwriting and the industry were top-notch. Overall, this festival was welcoming, well-organized, and genuinely supportive of writers and filmmakers. Highly recommend submitting!
