Weekly Check-In #1: Job Description/Manual Response and Goals


I am so excited to be working on this year's Visions Film Festival & Conference as a Video Race Co-Coordinator! From this job, I hope to be able to gain so much experience and knowledge about what it takes to plan an event, which will be important for producing as well. For my job, it is first important to start brainstorming with Aedan, my fellow coordinator, as soon as possible! Currently, I have already started thinking of ways to incorporate our fun space theme into this year's video race! In order to make sure this event is successful, we must budget accordingly for the following items: T-shirts, dye, props, etc. Dustin and Ashley, the previous coordinators, left a bunch of useful information that can save Aedan and me lots of money. They mentioned how they had staff members each bring in their own prop which can be utilized during the video race. I also read about how they created tie-dye shirts for their teams, but diluted the dye so that they could dye more than two T-shirts. I love the amount of resourcefulness that goes into being a Video Race co-coordinator, because in the film world we are typically faced with situations in which we need to make the most of what is available to us. I know that we also must keep locations and liability in consideration and be sure to secure those rights from Pamela Elliot. We are also responsible for having the rules and regulations of the race outlined prior to contacting Pam Elliot for permission. I feel that this job will be a great fit for me because I love to work with people and brainstorm new ideas while being part of such a fun event. I can't wait to see how Visions can benefit me, and how our work will pay off at the festival!
