Rural Route Film Festival's blog

The Rural Route Film Festival is starting back up in New York City after taking some time to regroup following our 2008-9 worldwide Nomad tour, and we need some good volunteers to get things rolling again.  We will be based in Astoria, Queens this year with key events held at New York City’s largest rooftop farm, along with other screenings in the near-vicinity.  
 
We are looking for help with the following:
-     Submission Review
-     Web Updates
-     Outreach/Fundraising
-     Press/Publicity
-     Promotions
-     Event Management
-     Graphic Design
 
Volunteers should primarily be based within the New York City area, but we are always interested in working with people from outside the area in different capacities.  Volunteer positions are on your own time for the most part, but there will be meet-up conferences over the course of the festival season.  Internship hours are available for credit.
 
The Rural Route Film Festival was founded in Brooklyn in 2003.  The festival highlights independent works that deal with rural people and places.  While so much media is set within the confines of big cities like New York and Los Angeles, Rural Route wants to showcase the many unique and extraordinary overlooked voices of the ‘everyday’ world.  We strive to put together an international community of like-minded artists that produce fiction films, documentaries, and experimental pieces from the fields, mountains, desert, and sea.  Topics include: progressive agriculture, outdoor adventure, indigenous issues, the environment, and travel.  
 
If you love independent film & live in the NY area, but find yourself longing for that crisp mountain air, a faraway adventure, or peaceful cornfield, PLEASE REPLY TO:  filmfest@ruralroutefilms.com with letter of interest.
