About the festival

2020 FESTIVAL IS POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE 2021. ALL SUBMISSIONS FOR 2020 WILL BE IN CONSIDERATION FOR 2021 FESTIVAL.

Rom Com Fest is a film festival that celebrates love through film and experiences. We believe that love is worth celebrating and there is power in a feel-good film.

The 2020 festival is postponed to June 2021 at Los Angeles at Downtown Independent. In addition to a mix of new and classic rom com film screenings, we will host engaging activities and events to connect the community of rom com lovers.

Rom Com Fest focuses on films that deal with romance and comedy. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us feel something for your characters. We’re looking for empowered and uplifting stories that have us re-thinking the rom com genre.

All films submitted must have a romantic comedy theme. Films can vary in length from two minutes to two hours. We are accepting all types of film (feature film, foreign, shorts, music videos, web series, tv, etc.). If you’re doing something different, we will take a look. Turn in interesting art about love; we will program the festival based on the content received.

Everything at Rom Com Fest will:
-celebrate the power of love
-make us feel things
-reflect the world as it is (diversity, inclusion, truth)

We love love. Do you?

Films in competition categories will be judged by a jury comprised of filmmakers, film industry veterans, and other luminaries. The winners of those awards will be announced prior to the Closing Night Awards screening.
