Submit Your Film.
Get Roasted.

The independent film festival circuit is broken. You spend months on your film, pay submission fees, and get nothing back. Not even a note. Roast Film Fest exists to fix that, with honest, brutal, and genuinely useful critique wrapped in wit.

Brutal Honesty

No diplomatic platitudes. No participation trophies. Your film gets the critique it needs, not the one your ego wants.

Written Heat

Every roast is a detailed written critique: sharp, specific, and actually actionable. Plus a shareable punchline card for your film.

Real Value

For the price of a coffee, you get more genuine insight than most festivals will ever give you.

The Grill.

Every film that steps onto the grill earns its verdict. Here are the three that came out closest to medium-rare right now.

Submissions Open

Your Film Won't
Improve Itself.

One submission. The most honest critique you'll ever receive. No festival in the world gives you this much truth for this little money.
