The Arkansas Cinema Society is looking for proactive, creative, self-starters that say YES to new ideas, programs, partnerships and projects. We are seeking innovators to develop strategies to grow new sponsorships, partnerships, donations, memberships and awareness of ACS across the entire state and to grow our educational programing.
ACS is in our 4th year which makes for an exciting, fun, and flexible work environment. Our organization has grown fast but we can only grow as big as we can dream and we are looking for more dreamers. We are not a traditional workspace—we want you to think outside the box to find NEW ways to grow our organization. Your work and experience with ACS will be what you create. We are nimble and able to move quickly from dreams to reality!
The following are our needs. They can be met by one remarkable human being, three remarkable human beings, or some combination thereof. Meaning that this could be a single full-time job or a few part-time jobs (we are a flexible young non-profit in a global pandemic so we can do that!).

"As a cinephile, I've wanted to be involved in a film community like ACS for a long time. It's been wonderful to watch ACS grow here in Arkansas. I'm so glad that I've been able to contribute to this amazing organization as a volunteer. From the Premiere event to film screenings throughout the year, I've had lots of opportunities to meet other film lovers while also having some exclusive access behind the scenes. It's been a lot of fun! I'm very much looking forward to helping ACS for years to come!"
"Being a fan of movies, I very much enjoy my time spent volunteering for ACS. I have made new friends and get to meet upcoming filmmakers. By helping present their story in film to the public I feel like I am helping send them off on an adventure of which most people only dream"
"I volunteer for ACS because I want to support the unique artistic community they're working to build here in Arkansas. When I work at ACS screenings, I see how movies bring together people from all different ages and walks of life. It's a bright spot of inspiration in this current political climate. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I get free admission to some of the coolest events in Little Rock!"
