by Rich Engel 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Dear Highland Parkers, Thanks for supporting Three Rivers Film Festival so often and so well in the past. This year's festival is ramping up, and will run Nov 5-20, 2010. We are once again looking for volunteers to work at the hospitality / will-call tables, during the film festival, in the lobbies of the Harris Theater, Melwood Screening Room, and Regent Square Theater. Each two-hour shift for which you volunteer gets you a ticket for a future show, plus a warm feeling inside. Interested parties should send your contact information to margaret(a)pghfilmmakers.org Thanks! Yours, Rich Engel Director of Marketing and Public Relations Pittsburgh Filmmakers http://pghfilmmakers.org 412-681-5449 x204
