MVFF Guest Services Liaison Volunteer (Skill-Based)

Save to Favorites

In our continual efforts to improve the experience of our guest filmmakers, we are seeking well-organized individuals to join the Guest Services team as Liaison volunteers. These Liaisons will act as the main point of contact on-site to assist filmmaker in connecting with the programmer and house manager who will be running the introduction and Q&A for their MVFF screenings. Pre-festival, you will assemble welcome materials that empower filmmakers with the knowledge needed to navigate the festival successfully. During the festival, you will be assigned a theater, where you will create an immediate sense of belonging for filmmakers as they arrive to their screenings, showcase your skill in providing anticipatory customer service, and share your lifelong appreciation for the beauty of Marin County with those visiting us for the first time.

This is a seasonal, unpaid volunteer position that will begin October 6 and ends October 16, 2016. Extended hours and weekend work will be required leading up to and during the Film Festival. Training days before the festival will be required.
