Comedies by Women

The Broad Humor Film Festival has been created to find and promote women's humor on the screen.  That means written AND directed by women.  We believe that films have two 

creators.  The writer faces the empty page and puts a story with characters there.  But a screenplay is not a book or even a stage play. The work is not really complete yet.  Even though a stage play needs to be on stage to come alive, the writer has control of time in the way dialogue and action is written.  And comedy is all about timing.  In movies, the director orchestrates events and 'writes' the screen version of a script.  And so, if we want to see what women's humor looks like on the screen, both the writer and the director must be female. 

This may change as the years progress.  But for now, this will be our starting and ending point. Women write.  Women direct.  Everybody laughs.
