Big
Bear Lake Film Festival needs screeners and readers!
If
you love movies, now may be the time to put that love to
use with the Big Bear Lake Film Festival. The festival is
currently looking for both movie screeners and screenplay
readers. If you are a local movie buff, and interested in
becoming involved, drop an email to Monica Skerbelis, Artistic
and Programming Director, at BigBearFilmFest@aol.com.
This fun and rewarding volunteer position is available to
most everyone in Big Bear. Movie screeners will be watching
and evaluating films including documentaries, family films,
high school student films, animation films, as well as independent
feature length films. Independent films from emerging filmmakers
and students from around the world are represented in the Big
Bear Lake Film Festival.
Volunteers will need the time to watch approximately two hundred
films ranging from 2 minute short films to feature length movies
and documentaries. Job duties include viewing the movies and
filling out a written critique rating the entry. Forms will
be provided and explained.
“This is a great chance for local folks to get involved
in our rapidly growing film festival and to be a part of taking
it to the next level” says Monika Skerbelis, Artistic
and Programming Director. This year there will also be a presentation
showcasing pets and animals. The submission period for movies
ends May 15, 2009, and the screening process continues until
July 15.
Readers are also needed to critique screenplay entries. Screenplay
readers must be trained in this profession, or have a background
in screenplay writing and/or have won a screenwriting award
in a major film festival. Those interested in submitting an
application for reading may contact Sandy Steers at screenplaydirector@bigbearlakefilmfestival.com
Readers will not only receive program recognition, they will
receive an All-access pass to the Film Festival.
The 10th Annual Big Bear Lake International Film Festival
and Screenwriting Competition will be held September 18-20,
