Comedy

A filmmaker walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Have you checked our the comedy lineup at the 2023 DTLA Film Festival?" (Rimshot.) Ok, our filmmakers can deliver a one-liner better than we can, but see for yourself at this year's festival!

SHORT PROGRAMS

DTLA Film Festival's 2023 short-film lineup offers a lot of something for everyone -- from horror to comedy, social justice to animation. Jump into our shorts (!) and try them on for size.

P﻿ROOF OF CONCEPT An aspiring auteur tries coaxing her dad and uncle into financing her first short film but winds up raising more questions than dollars.<a href="https://vimeo.com/832716782?share=copy" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">T﻿HE FAVOR</a> &quot;Death doesn&#x27;t become her.&quot; When the Angel of Death comes to collect a woman who is just not ready to go, things take a surprising turn.<a href="https://youtu.be/wGPRoNKtp5I" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">F﻿INDING FILMAN</a> A documentary team follows a delusional soft-core porn actor who seeks to cross over into the mainstream acting world. S﻿UMMER&#x27;S LAST SWIM Magazine quizzes, summer camp crushes, and awkward funerals fill the world of 15-year-old besties Shawna and Juno who spend one last day at the beach as they await the uncertain future of an in-person sophomore year. “Do you really think I’m a cauliflower?&quot;H﻿EADPRICKLES If you are being bothered by intrusive thoughts, such as: How many plastic bags are optimal for packing one banana?; What ensures victory in the skeleton competition?; Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? Or Should I shower with my socks on? Will I face any consequences?--then - that&#x27;s great! “Headprickles” will give you an answer to at least one of these questions. The film consists of over a dozen animated enigrams connected by the motif of being trapped in a loop of absurdity. In visually colorful labyrinth of observations, the protagonists try to make sense of nonsense - or they stay mindlessly in it. &quot;Headprickles&quot; probably won’t change the world, will not cause a shock or a revolution, but - maybe – it will make audience’s heads a little itchy during the projection?H﻿ERITAGE DAY After Evie dresses up like her estranged grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, on “Heritage Day” at school, she becomes increasingly obsessed with this dark part of her family history.<a href="https://vimeo.com/791207627" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">T﻿HE WORD</a> Billionaires decide to give African American&#x27;s reparations for slavery...bit there&#x27;s a catch.
