About the festival

Where CONTENT is King!
Madcap’s aim is to award content driven by excellence and the filmmaker’s creative ability, with an emphasis on writing and performing comic content, rather than rewarding special effects and the cinematic qualities.

Please note we are still sorting out teething problems both on this site and on FilmFreeway. Please contact if you encounter any issues.

Madcap’s awards are in Two Categories Australian/International
- Best Comedy
- Best Script
- Best Comic Character
- Best Gag/Comic Situation

Best Comedy and Script winners will receive a Script Assessment on their next short screenplay by leading Australian Script Consultant Charlie Carmen.
Best Comic Character and Best Gag/Comic Situation winners will receive an assessment on their next short screenplay logline.
