Volunteer at Fantastic Fest

It’s A Volunteer Experience With All The Boring Parts Cut Out

“It feels like a week-long horror-geek summer camp reunion  There's no artifice, no pretense, no bullshit.” - Scott Weinberg, Cinematical

Fantastic Fest will be looking for volunteers (18 years and older, please) for the 2010 festival.  We need you to stand face to face with the celebs and the fans alike to make sure everyone has an Austin-Texas-Alamo-Drafthouse-good-time.

No other festival draws so many eclectic directors, writers, actors and genre film fanatics from across the globe, packs them into 40,000sq.ft. of space and mixes them all together with screenings, beer, karaoke, beer, BBQ, beer, trivia, beer, boxing and more beer!  And you can help make it all happen.

Interested?

If you are interested in volunteering you must be able to attend one of the Volunteer Sign-Up Sessions

• Time and place TBD, but usually occurs mid to late August

The Sign-Up Session will last about an hour and will answer all your questions about volunteering for the festival.  At the conclusion of the session you will be allowed to sign up for any available shifts during the festival, so bring your calendars.  Typically festival shifts occur anytime between 9am – 2am September 22nd – September 30th, 2010.

In addition to any shifts you sign up for, all volunteers must:

• Be able to attend one pre-meeting. (Time and place TBD, but will be posted at the same time as the Volunteer Sign-Up Session announcement.)

• Be able to attend festival set-up on the evening of September 21st, 2010.
