Calling all wanna be Tina Feys and Amy Poehlers.  The Broad Humor Film Festival (BHFF) is looking for submissions for it’s 4th annual festival to be held June 12-14, 2009 at the Electric Lodge Performing Arts Center in Venice, California.

It is the only festival focused on onscreen femme humor.  Founder Susan DiRende:

As our broads in the trenches of the indie world have been demonstrating for years, women are suddenly being recognized for being, yes, funny.  Today, high-profile funny women are getting attention and accolades, but it is still an uphill battle for most.

BHFF accepts entries of films and screenplays in three length categories:  under 20 minutes/pages; 20-60 minutes/pages; over 60 minutes/pages.  Documentary, narrative and web films are all welcome so long as all writers and directors are female and humor is an important part of the story.
