What it takes to make a festival run smoothly #1

In the weeks leading up to the festival, volunteers are busy making each screening program will be ready to go come show time. These volunteers assembled venue kits one Saturday morning.

Dedicated volunteers are what make One Earth Film Festival run smoothly.  From helping with film selection, finding venues, designing programs, collaborating with action partners to assembling the kits for all the venue site coordinators, they do it all. 

Here's part of the team that spent most of their Saturday morning making sure each venue will have all the supplies it needs for screening day.
