volunteering

Do you have a love for film and want to help a great organization? We are in need of volunteers to help us during our 2011 festival as well as assist in the preparation for 2012. Each year, the enthusiasm, commitment and hard work of volunteers enable the Festival to pursue its mission of celebrating the collaborative process of filmmaking.

    • Volunteers are needed to assist in all areas of the Miami Short Film Festival. There are of course, exciting benefits such as being among the first audiences to see the selected and award-winning films. But the real benefits of volunteering aren’t things, or even films–they’re the overall experience of working with a great team with a great cause. If you’re ready for a one-of-a-kind experience, read on and apply to join our MsFF team.

Please feel free to contact our Volunteer director melany@miamishortfilmfestival.com for more information or download a volunteer application form below.
