Work Preferences

Theater Operations

Be part of several teams that inhabit festival theaters during the weekend and keep them humming right along. You'll take tickets, manage lines, count seats, usher people into the theater, and interact with a public eager to see the best docs around. This is where the action is, with venues abuzz with filmmakers, musicians, and Columbia's finest passholders and attendees.

Set Up/Break Down

Currently the only crew still in need of helping hands. This trusty crew will transform festival venues into True/Falsian movie palaces before the Fest begins, then return them to their humble origins after the Fest ends. Requires heavy lifting, problem solving, and a willingness to get your hands dirty. A great way to have time to experience the fest with your volunteer pass!

Venue Design

Does paper mache excite you? Do you enjoy creating something out of practically nothing? You'll assist our designers with physical design projects that will transform venues throughout the Fest into the T/F universe. Must be available during the months leading up to the Fest, and it's helpful if you're handy with tools and a glue gun.

Do you prefer to work at any specific venues or events?

Have you been recruited to work on a specific crew? Which one?

If so, by whom?

Juggernaut Essay

Please write a short essay letting us know why you think you ought to be a Juggernaut. Please reference past experience, special skills, or legendary feats of True/False valor (past or future).
