VOLUNTEER TO PRE-SCREEN

The Wasatch Mountain Film Festival is looking for volunteers to pre-screen film submissions for our main festival in February and our Fall Series in November.

What is Pre-Screening?

After each film submission deadline, we have a few weeks to review all of the submitted films and curate an inspiring program for our upcoming festivals. As a Pre-Screener, you’ll review a specific batch of films and rate them on a scale from 1-10, along with leaving a few insightful comments about your rating (not a summary of the film). There are two pre-screening periods each year:

  • Fall Series (November): Pre-screening happens from August to September.
  • Main Festival (February/March): Pre-screening happens from November to December.

What are we asking for?

We’re looking for volunteer Pre-Screeners to help review at least 20 hours of submitted film content. You can choose to contribute to the Fall Series (August-September), the main festival (November-December), or both. 

We’ll match you with a film category that aligns with your interests, and then you can watch the films at your own pace through an online platform. Each film will require a simple 1-10 rating and a few insightful comments. The films range from a few minutes to feature-length documentaries.

What do you get in return?

Pre-screeners who review 20 hours of films between August-September and/or November-December will receive some fantastic rewards:

  • Free Online Streaming Pass: Watch the entire festival you pre-screened for from the comfort of your home.
  • Two Free In-Person Tickets: You’ll receive a pair of complimentary tickets to any in-person show at the festival you pre-screened for. Plus, you’ll get 15% off all additional tickets you purchase.
  • Early Access: As a Pre-Screener, you’ll be among the first people in the world to see some of the incredible films premiering at our festival.
Are you willing to commit at least 20 hours of watch time during at least one of our pre-screen periods from September to October or November to December?(Required)
