Having the opportunity to be an event greeter at the Tallahassee Film Festival was a very interesting experience. I actually had a great time meeting and greeting everyone that came into Hotel Duval.
I had the chance to take pictures on the red carpet with some of the other greeters and with both Kim and Laura Downey, the event coordinators.
My responsibility was to greet and welcome everyone as they came in from the valet area of the hotel or as they left the restroom. I had to engage in small conversations with them by asking them their opinion on the film that was viewed that day called “Small Town Murderer.”
I got a lot of uncertain reviews from some of the people that did get a chance to see this movie. Most people said it was very dark because of the killing. One lady’s reaction was, “It was a great movie, I loved it. But! It was a little too intense.” This response was very similar to some of the other attendees that saw the film.
As everyone made their way up to Level 8 in Hotel Duval, I had a chance to mingle with some of the guest and the filmmakers. I also got to shake hands with Tim (not sure of his last name) a talent scout for Disney that was also in attendance. I did not realize whom he was until one the photographers came up to me and told me.

In all I had a great time volunteering as a greeter. Only thing that I regret was not having any business cards to pass out. After speaking to Downey she made me realize that I could have brought some with me. This was a lesson learned.
