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.
