Call for Festival Volunteers!
|
LAGFF offers an array of opportunities to gain experience in event production, non-profit operations, and film programming. Volunteers help at the box office where they issue tickets or usher you to your seat; others manage theaters, set up parties, or work on our transportation team to support visiting filmmakers. Some volunteers participate in programming and industry activities, and others help on the red carpet! Many more work behind the scenes year-round to promote independent cinema on behalf of LAGFF.
That's why we appreciate our volunteers so much - without them LAGFF would not be possible.
