Primary Responsibilities:

Assist with event set-up and breakdown, which may include reception preparations.
Selling tickets at the box office.

Distribute and collect film ballots before and after a film.
Click how many attendees there are as they enter the theater.

Qualifications and Requirements:

Proficiency in customer service.
Experience with volunteering is preferred.
Access to transportation to select in-person events.

Interest in film and/or film festivals is preferred, but not required.

Event Staff should be prepared to work most of the events during the festival, which may span 4-12 hours in one day. These hours are flexible and depend on Event Staff’s availability.
