Volunteer Festival Screeners

Help us select titles for the festival

Our Screening Committees assist with viewing titles submitted to the Festival and nominating short films for awards. 3-5 Volunteer Screeners will help carefully curate a bold and exciting festival program. Whether you have a background in film, are a dedicated cinephile, a critic, or are simply curious, we’re open to anyone joining us as we assess the many submissions from local indie filmmakers need for resumes, cover letters, or interviews.
