Become a BBFF Volunteer

 

It takes a LOT of people to put the BBFF together. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who gave their time to making this event happen! We couldn't have done it without you.

Please contact us if you would like to volunteer for next year's festival (yes, we plan to be back). Volunteers are needed to take part in:

  • Initial film selection (requires watching lots of films!)
  • Support crew the day of the festival
  • Setup and takedown
  • Judge panel for film awards (must have qualifications in science, ocean life, art, film or nature)

Contact Erin Webber, Event Coordinator, at bigbluefilmfest@gmail.com for more information and to assist in this event.

Special thanks to our 2023 volunteer judges
