VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Film Commission regularly recruits volunteers throughout the year to assist with:

  • Location Scouting & Location Database Updates
  • Special events: galas, industry mixers, and workshops>
  • Administration
  • IT: website, network, office computers
  • Fundraising
  • Communication, marketing & member relations

We keep a general list of volunteers that we contact when we have specific projects and events we need help with. We also take on volunteers who would like to help out on a more regular basis. If you’re interested in volunteering, please email us.

Please note, we do not do any film production in our office and as such do not have production volunteer opportunities.

Become a Production Assistant

We recommend that those interested in becoming crew members begin with an entry-level position as a PA.

Please note that you must be 19+ to work on set and possess Motion Picture Industry Orientation course certification for DGC Union shows.

HOW TO BECOME AN EXTRA/BACKGROUND ACTOR

We recommend that those interested in becoming an extra sign with an agency. There is no cost associated with signing up unless you wish to get professional portraits taken. You do not need to be signed with a Victoria agency in order to get work in Victoria.
