Film Volunteer Needed by Women at Woodstock
Women At Woodstock is a first-ever retreat for women 50 and over, at the Emerson Resort and Spa in Woodstock, New York on October 7-10, 2012. The purpose is to gather women in mid-life for an inspiring three days and three nights of speakers, performances, workshops, and one-to-one expert consultations to help foster change, action, and new undertakings at an important time in their lives.
We are looking for 2 students (preferably female, as this is an all-female event) to film and photograph the 3-day event. The film project must then be edited to a finished version between 45-60 minutes. The goal is a film that shows how baby boomer women are living, coping with age, and viewing the world. You will receive full credit on the film and will have rights to include it in your portfolio.
Applicants must be available for the entire event (Sunday, Oct 7 at 4pm - Wednesday, Oct 10 at 1pm). This is an unpaid volunteer position, but accommodations and all meals will be provided. Please contact bridget@womenatwoodstock if interested.

Film Volunteer Needed by The Working Group on Girls at the United Nations
The Working Group on Girls at the United Nations (http://girlsrights.org/) is a 501(c)3 organization that advocates for the rights of the girl-child on an international level and is comprised of more than 71 international NGOs.
The Commission on the Status of Women is coming up shortly at the United Nations. During our preparations, some of our members came up with the idea of shooting a 5-10 minute extended PSA, so to speak, to promote awareness of international trafficking in persons, specifically girls. This short reel would be shown at a UN event with civil society advocates and diplomats.
The Working Group on Girls has plenty of statistics, resources, contacts in the area that would be willing to be interviewed in regards to human trafficking, and a pro-bono graphics designer ready to help.
However, we do not have film equipment or expertise, and would need some assistance in filming the interviews and editing the footage. If anyone is interested in human rights, women’s and girls’ issues, international issues, and advocacy, this is a short-term volunteer opportunity that would look great on a resume. This is a casual office setting, and you’d be working with two young people to create this film from filming to post-production. We would require someone with either film experience or technical knowledge that you can put to use in filming. This would be a great way to get your feet wet in documentary-style filming. We would start meeting at the end of February, and would tentatively be finished by the middle of May, however, the schedule can flexible, if need be. Please contact asajben1@gmail.com if interested.
