Volunteering at Tallgrass
We truly couldn’t pull off our festival without the support of our dedicated volunteers. Join the team! No filmmaking skills required.
An Essential Part of Our Organization
Whether they are building décor for our parties, selling tickets at the box office, chauffering filmmakers or screening films, we could not accomplish our year-round mission without them. From students to retirees, if you’re interested in movies, community events and are stubbornly independent, we encourage you to discover the possibilities.
Volunteer Benefits Include
- Access to Wichita premieres of some of the best independent films from around the world (You’ll earn a movie pass for every shift you work!)
- A one-of-a-kind Tallgrass t-shirt
- Food & beverage during shifts, plus access to our volunteer lounge
- Being a part of a community of film loving Wichitans who love supporting local art
- But most of all, bragging rights for playing an integral role in the country’s most Stubbornly Independent film festival

Volunteer Prescreeners
Do you love watching movies? Are you interested in helping us select what films we will show at the 2024 Tallgrass Film Festival? Sign up today to become a prescreener and be part of what makes Tallgrass Film Festival special.
What does a prescreener do? As a prescreener you will watch and review submitted short and feature films. Your reviews and insight will be used to program the festival! We are looking for volunteers who can commit to a minimum of 15 hours worth of films from January-July of 2024.
Prescreeners can earn individual tickets to films all the way up to VIP Tallpasses depending on total number of hours watched.
