Interested in Volunteering for Screamfest?

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Screamfest Horror Film Festival. Without their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts, we wouldn't be able to deliver the unforgettable experience that festival-goers have come to expect year after year. To show our appreciation, we offer a range of benefits that are commensurate with the number of hours volunteered.

We're looking for positive, energetic individuals who are excited to dive into the exciting and fast-paced environment of the festival. Whether you're stationed at a theater entrance or assisting filmmakers behind the scenes, you'll be an integral part of the festival's success. And let's not forget the thrilling opportunity to be among the first audiences to witness the world premieres of some of the best new independent horror films.

If you're ready for a unique and unforgettable experience, we invite you to apply to join us in Los Angeles this October. But don't worry if you can't commit to the festival dates – we offer pre- and post-festival volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Just indicate your availability on the application form.

How To Volunteer for the Screamfest Horror Film Festival:

To apply, simply complete the online Volunteer application. Once we review your application, we'll send you the schedule for our orientation in mid-September. Please note that all volunteers will need to attend a one-time training session prior to the festival, where you'll indicate your availability during the ten-day event. The week following the training session, you'll receive your festival schedule via email and can pick up your credentials and tee shirt at the designated check-in.
