The Chicago Improv Festival is seeking comedic Digital Video shorts for possible inclusion in CIF's new special event, “CIF Digital Video Night”.
This new event will happen on Tuesday, April 2, at the Storefront Theatre in downtown Chicago, and will be hosted by New York based improviser/dv director Jonathan Appel.
This event starts at 7pm with a 90 minute showing of a wide variety of comedic dv shorts. At 9pm will be the world premiere of an hour-long dv tribute to Del Close.
CIF will accept dv shorts either created through improv or by improvisers. CIF will look for dv shorts in the following time categories: 2-5 minutes, 5-10 minutes and 15-30 minutes. (Obviously, within a 90 minute program, the longer the dv is, the less of a chance it has of being possibly selected, however, all dvs will be looked at equally.)
Required info for DV night submissions:

Total running time of video:
Please have all desired title and production credits on the video within the "Total running time." Do not add extra time for credits.
