About the festival

From the creators of the Killer Valley Horror Film Festival, which was founded in 2007 by filmmaker Randy Granstrom. For 13 years we've been showcasing the best in indie horror and sci-fi. In 2018 we decided to start a Comedy Festival as well!

It's a one-night event featuring an amazing collection of awesome comedy short films from around the world. Take a look at our charter festival for a better idea of what we do: https://filmfreeway.com/KillerValleyFilmFestival

With limited time slots available, we're looking for shorter shorts, ideally 5 -10 minutes, 15 at the most. The films must have comedy elements. With a foundation in horror, we appreciate dark comedies or horror-comedies as well, but they can be anything from slapstick to dramadies, live action or animated. We're just looking for the best in indie-made comedies.

If you're a Jefferson State filmmaker, or shot your film in or around Southern Oregon/Northern California, send us a message and we can get you a free entry.

Terms and rules

We're pretty free-wheeling at Killer Valley, we're just looking to have one awesome night of comedy themed entertainment and to have some drinks with cool folks that enjoy funny flicks. We're mostly looking for audience-pleasing films. Films that make people laugh or gasp, or even better both!

If you live in the area or want to make the trek to the festival, let us know, and we're that much more likely to admit your film into our fest. Is that fair, maybe not? But we want filmmakers to be able to see their film with an audience. We're all filmmakers ourselves, and this fest started as a way to get our goofy, gory films in front of people. As we continue to open it up to more filmmakers, we want the opportunity to meet you and for you to meet fans of horror directly. Of course, if we think your film kicks ass and you can't make it, we'd still love to show it. Thanks!

Categories and fees

Short Comedy Films
Early Bird (1st March, 2020) $10
Regular (1st June, 2020) $15
Late (1st August, 2020) $20

We're looking for awesome indie-comedy shorts. Our foundations are in horror, so we love horror-comedies and dark-comedies, but your film can be any genre, they just have to be funny. Our sweet spot is 5 - 10 minutes, we love to program as many films as possible, so our audience gets the most bang for their buck.

30 Seconds of Comedy
Early Bird (1st March, 2020) $0
Regular (1st June, 2020) $0
Late (1st August, 2020) $0

We're looking for super short comedy films! (seriously if it's over 30 seconds, we're not watching it.) We want something quick, that we can use as a bumper between films, that we'll add our logo to at the end. (You retain all rights, it's only for our screening.) Free entries and Free admission to the fest if accepted. What we're asking for is 5 - 30 second comedy themed films, skits, jokes, whatever... make us laugh fast, spoof your favorite movie, animate something. Whatever you want, just entertain us! You can make something new or if you've already got something in that vein (you've made a Vine or an Instagram) than feel free to send that in.

Over 15 Minute Films
Early Bird (1st March, 2020) $15
Regular (1st June, 2020) $20
Late (1st August, 2020) $30

We really aren't looking for films longer than 15 minutes, but understand that sometimes you just can't contain your comedy! Message us for the password, get to know us, send us a kick-ass trailer and we'll probably make an exception.
