CALL FOR FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS!

You may have met our wonderful LAGFF volunteers at the box office where they issue tickets or usher you to your seat. Other volunteers manage theaters, set up parties, or work on our transportation team to support visiting filmmakers. Some volunteers even help on the red carpet! And many more work behind the scenes year-round to promote independent cinema on behalf of LAGFF.

The Festival offers an array of opportunities to help volunteers gain professional experience in the event production, non-profit, and film industries.

That's why we appreciate our volunteers so much - without our amazing volunteers, LAGFF would not be possible.

For more information on how to get involved, contact Adrian Fernandez, LAGFF's Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected]
