Each year the Little Rock Film Festival brings together a dedicated team of Volunteers to help ensure festival patrons and guests have the best film-going experience possible. In exchange, Volunteers receive passes to all films, parties, special events and panel discussions, and gain an exclusive, hands-on, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the top Southern film festivals in action. We are very grateful for the considerable contributions made by our Volunteers and know that we could not present the festival without their hard work and dedication.
Over 100 Volunteers dedicate their time to help make the Little Rock Film Festival a success for independent films during the spring in downtown Little Rock. They are a great contribution to the festival and the community. There is an excitement and energy in running the many events, panels, and screenings at the Little Rock Film Festival. As we grow each year, we are always in need of enthusiastic and hardworking Volunteers to be part of the Little Rock Film Festival. If you are looking for volunteer opportunities in Little Rock or just ways to get involved in the community, please contact the festival at volunteer@littlerockfilmfestival.org
My Volunteer Experience at the #LRFF2012
- Timothy Hadley
To be filled in a room with so many creative personalities, thinkers, and innovators is refreshing just by itself. To be surrounded by incredible talent, filmmakers from all around the world, and future faces of Hollywood is an experience one is sure to remember for a lifetime.
That’s what my experience was like, unforgettable. For newbies as myself or anyone involved in the film making community, it’s definitely great hands on experience or a great way to get involved. You never know what to expect; I actually got to go inside the directors room, view panel discussions, and see screenings been premiered for the first time; who would have ever thought that would come about just from volunteering?
The special events are fun, and you’re given the opportunity to connect and develop relationships with those who work in related fields you aspire to work in. More than likely you will probably leave with so much knowledge and new powerful connections; putting you ten steps ahead of the game.
Did I mention the parties? One word, unbelievable! We partied on the roof top and boat last year! You will leave feeling like an A-Lister; the Renaud brothers and their team bring something new, special, and fun to the table each year!
Don’t miss the opportunity to give back to your community or the industry! Whether you work in front of behind the scenes; you’re a part of the puzzle and a part of helping bring entertainment and magic to the world! So share your gift, explore your passion, hone your craft, enhance your skills, add to your knowledge, and help create the magic! In other words, volunteer. The experience is certainly worthwhile!
