Poor Life Choices Comedy Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The Poor Life Choices Comedy Film Festival is a U.S.-based comedy festival dedicated to showcasing bold, weird, and absurd comedic work from around the world, including writing, directing, sketch, improv, shorts, and feature films. It is notable for its “Poorest Life Choice Award” recognitions and for combining online screenings with in-person events, while also donating ticket proceeds to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Its significance lies in giving comedy films a focused platform in the festival circuit, where the genre is often less prominently featured.
