VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are the backbone of our organization who provide the passion, energy and experience to make AFMX one of the leading film festivals in New Mexico!  Our diverse and enthusiastic group of volunteers include students, professionals, retired persons, filmmakers, music lovers, and community members.

 

Our volunteers are recognized as some of the best from our long list of VIP guests, speakers and talents and are a driving force of what makes us successful. We take pride in getting to know our volunteers and matching them with assignments and positions that are engaging and fun! ​

 

From our 2023 survey of our volunteer pool: 

​

  • 95% of responders are likely to volunteer for AFMX again given their experience. 

  • 95% of responders rated their overall experience volunteering with AFMX as good or exceptional.
     

Not only was the pre-event communication fantastic, the volunteers at the event were kind, informed, helpful and all around amazing. - Chris Schueler, Documentary Filmmaker, 2022 Speaker

We were privileged to be part of this world class event, alongside talented filmmakers and one of the friendliest staffs we've ever encountered. - Alex Meridy, 2020 Filmmaker
