Howdy Volunteers,
We are starting to get reallyyyy busy preparing for VideoFest 25! We have already had two Design Contests: t-shirt and art collage contests and winners! Cannot wait to share some of how this is going to look this year!
We are going to have numerous events and parties this year....more than ever before. We want to let Dallas know what we have been up to, plus really showcase what makes VideoFest unique.
I thank you for filling out your volunteer application in VIC-Net...it will streamline communication and make it easier to offer you info on assisgments.
As assignments become available we will be posting them, as well as sending out requests that you can review and we will assign you. The requests we have right now are very flexible in terms of hours needed and that you can work from home for a lot of these. Yet are so necessary! We have had a few last minute changes in staff and are filling a few holes as well. And may open up some intern slots for anyone that may be interested.
Currently we need assistance in the following areas:
1) Graphic Design: Help us to design our VideoFest Badges. If you can take our VideoFest Ambassador - VideoGuy - and can create a cohesive theme for our badges, your efforts will be seen by everyone!
2) Graphic Design: Website assistance to ensure our layout, images and sponsor logos all look terrific!
3) Film Schedule Calender: Add all films to Festival Genius (online tool) so that we can start to route audiences there and sell tickets! No web experience needed, yet could be beneficial.
4) Videography: Videography team is needing assistance to film highlight spots, conduct interviews, film Q&A's, parties. We have some needs immediately for that person who is a go-getter and wants to add some experience to their resume. This position could also be an internship.
5) Photography: Photographic assistance to capture our events, q&a's, grand openings, filmmakers.......we do have professional photographers assisting us, yet there is also opportunities for individuals to get great experience or build portfolio of special needs photography. It can be very fast paced, interesting....we have different assignments...join our team to help pre-fest on interviews, round tables, events and in fest at q&a's, filmmaker reception, in museum, in theatre.....This position could be an internship.
We have reached out to some of you and the opportunities may get filled, but do not worry there is plenty to do! If you are interested in any of the above...please e-mail [email protected] and we will contact you to review the specifics.
Know anyone interested in volunteering...send em our way
Thank you everyone! And have a VideoFestastic Day!
