Houston Comedy Film Festival 2010 Event Recap

The 2010 HCFF was our first festival at the Alamo Drafthouse - West Oaks in (Texas). We screened a ton of films over two days. It's good to know that the HCFF was not a one-hit-wonder, because our short film session was a sellout. Our judges did a great job selecting films, the HCFF was  one of the first festivals to accept "God of Love" which went on to win the Academy Award.
