To ensure the festival runs smoothly, we ask our volunteers for attendance at a mandatory orientation session prior to the festival start date and to complete a minimum of two shifts (approximately 4-6 hours each) during the festival.
While our main focus is the autumn season, keep an eye out for year-round opportunities to get involved!
The Perks
We couldn’t do this without you, and we make sure our volunteers are taken care of. While perks vary year to year, volunteers can expect:
Exclusive Festival Gear:
Wear your pride with our official crew shirt.
See the Films:
Earn access to screenings and best seats in the house.
Behind-the-Scenes Access:
See how a major cultural event comes to life.
Our Undying Gratitude:
Plus the chance to meet fellow film lovers and creators!

What does a day at the festival look like? Our volunteers handle everything from the front-of-house buzz to the behind-the-scenes logistics:
Front of House
Scan tickets, usher guests, and assist audience members with a smile.
Hospitality
Support concessions and help our attendees feel at home.
Event Support
Assist with special events, panel discussions, and gala nights.
The Heavy Lifting
Help our team with venue set-up and tear-down to keep the show on the road.
Applications are typically reviewed on a rolling basis leading up to our annual fall season.
