VOLUNTEER

CASTING CALL

Want to know who the real stars of the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival are?  An incredible group of over 200 community volunteers, that’s who! Volunteers who generously offer their time, energy, experience and expertise in every aspect of festival operations.

We invite YOU to join in the fun. Choose to help out year-round, just during the week of the festival, or both! It’s a terrific way to spend some time meeting other film lovers and supporting film in our county. The festival dates are March 7-11, 2012. Become a volunteer, recruit your friends and help us make the 18th Annual SLOIFF a success.
