Only a month left to get your comic gems in!
FILM SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE Wednesday 3rd March 2010  

Kent media company Beeping Bush Productions is bringing the sound of laughter back to the British seaside with the return of its exciting comedy shorts competition.

The team behind the incredibly successful 2 Days Later Short Film Competition are setting their sights once again on making audiences scream with laughter with The 2 Days Laughter Short Film Competition. The event, now in its third year, aims to give filmmakers, comedians and writers the opportunity to produce a comedy short in a total of only 48 hours. Showcased to a public audience, and competing for prizes, judged by a panel of film and media & entertainment industry professionals, that includeTime Out’s comedy editor Tim Arthur, television and radio comedy writer Jon Holmes and University of Kent’s Dr Oliver Double.

“We want filmmakers and comedians to tickle the audience’s funny bone with short films or sketches, stand-up or improvisation routines, of no more than five minutes in length. It's a rare and free opportunity for comedians and filmmakers alike to actually see how an audience reacts to their work in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.”
says Mick Etherton, Competition Co-Director
