Florida Film Fest Seeks Volunteers

The Florida Film Festival, which runs March 24th through April 2nd, is seeking student volunteers for a variety of jobs. It's a great way to learn the festival game from the inside as well as make contacts. A former UCF FILM student, Ally Schwartz is helping to organize the volunteers. here's the info she sent my way.

We need volunteers for pre-fest and festival work.Last year was a huge success and this year is gearing up to be even bigger.

Excellent opportunity for film students to experience the inner workings of a festival, watch amazing films and meet other passionate filmmakers. Great resume addition and production-paced experience!
