This blossoming film festival required me to wear many hats. As a committee member I was responsible for development of festival panels and special events.

During the festival I was one of the main coordinators between the location staff, our event staff, the technical team, and our attendees. My box office responsibilities included knowing our ticketing system (Brown Paper Tickets) inside and out, and teaching it to our team of volunteers. I managed the box office volunteers during the festival. I was responsible for the accounting and recording of ticket sales. Post festival I generated attendance and sales reports.
