THE COMEDY FILM CHALLENGE 2026
ChucoTown Comedy presents a unique fresh new take on the familiar 48-Hour Film Challenge! Similar to traditional "48 HR" filmmaker teams receive a random genre, character, prop and line of dialogue and have two days to create a short film within that time frame. However there's a twist... their random genre must mixed as a COMEDY as well! That's right comedy and hilarity is the emphasis, priority and requirement for this event!
A competition where filmmakers have 48 hours to create a comedy film!
