Volunteers - They're What's Behind The Valley Film Festival's Longevity

Everyone is familiar with the saying, "It Takes a Village...," well, at The Valley Film Festival, it's our volunteers. VFF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer run organization and everyone involved donates their time, talent, and passion to supporting our mission of furthering the education, production, and distribution of filmmaking in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. 

From film lovers to filmmakers, living in The Valley to the Westside, and in countries near and far, VFF volunteers power The Valley Film Festival year after year. We'd like to take a moment to say THANK YOU and recognize those involved:
