Born Day Party.
The New Orleans Comedy Film Festival is throwing itself a Happy Born Day party, and it doesn’t want to drink alone!
Thursday, August 1 at 6 PM – 8 PM at The Hi-Ho Lounge
Join hopefully more than a handful of folks to celebrate the launch of NOCFF by:
• toasting to the first day of open submissions
• being charmed by a couple of short comedy films (made by folks who live here)
• winning some raffle items
• just being present and being awesome because it takes a village to raise a baby non-profit festival
NOCFF is on the road to 501c3 (not for profit) status, and the one-way ticket costs $800. Any proceeds raised and donations you contribute will go directly to funding these filing fees (the sexiest of goals).
Drink drinks. Laugh loudly. Support comedy.
