About
Volunteers will help welcome audiences and support screenings throughout the day at the Halloran Centre for the 2026 Indie Memphis Film Festival.
Volunteers will help scan tickets and passes, welcome and direct guests, answer questions, and help keep audiences moving smoothly before and between screenings.
No previous festival experience is required. Indie Memphis events are collaborative, so volunteers should be prepared to assist with other venue needs as they arise.
