become a volunteer

Heartland Truly Moving Pictures is grateful for the support of our hard-working volunteers.

Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the Festival, from planning the events to working at the theaters to providing hospitality for filmmakers and guests. Volunteers also provide valuable assistance in our year-round programming, educational, marketing and fundraising efforts.

Heartland volunteers receive complimentary tickets to Festival films based on the number of hours they volunteer (limit of one ten-pack of tickets per volunteer). Two awards are presented to outstanding volunteers after the Festival each year. The President's Volunteer Award is given for leadership and commitment to the mission of Heartland. The Paul and Marie Sparks Volunteer Hour Award is given to the volunteer who has contributed the most volunteer hours.

All of our volunteers receive mailings, news and other information about Heartland.

Heartland Truly Moving Pictures and the Heartland Film Festival would not be possible without the strong support from countless dedicated volunteers.
