Code of Conduct
TRUE WEST FILM CENTER
2026 Volunteer Social “Agreement”
February 12 | North Lounge
By attending the 2026 True West Film Center Volunteer Social (“The Event”), you—the esteemed Volunteer, Friend of Volunteers, or Legendary Helper of Cinema—hereby acknowledge the following terms, conditions, understandings, vibes, and good intentions.
This Agreement is entered into freely, joyfully, and without anyone handing you a clipboard.
1. Safety & Conduct (a.k.a. Don’t Be That Person)
You agree to conduct yourself in a way that would make your favorite director proud.
True West does not tolerate bullying, harassment, threats, or behavior that would cause someone to whisper, “Yikes,” into their wine glass.
Be kind. Be respectful. Be the volunteer you’d want next to you during a sold-out screening.
2. Volunteer ≠ Employee (Tonight Especially)
You understand that you are not an employee of True West Film Center and that tonight you are:
• Not on duty
• Not working a shift
• Not expected to answer questions about seating, tickets, or “what’s playing next week”
Tonight, you are simply a guest. Bask accordingly.
3. Alcohol Clause (Because Lawyers Exist)
If beverages are served:
• Enjoy responsibly
• Know your limits
• If you begin explaining a three-hour director’s cut to a stranger who did not ask, consider water
No volunteer duties are being performed at this event, so no uniform removal is required—but dignity is appreciated.
4. Awareness & Assumption of Minor Risks
You acknowledge that attendance may include:
• Standing, sitting, or enthusiastic gesturing
• Carrying a drink while talking with your hands
• Exposure to loud laughter, movie opinions, and cinematic enthusiasm
• Possible emotional responses to being appreciated
You accept these risks bravely.
5. Medical Wisdom
You confirm that you know your own body, limits, and tolerance for social gatherings.
True West may offer assistance if needed, but you agree not to sue anyone over sore feet, laughter-induced hiccups, or excessive smiling.
6. Confidentiality (Yes, even at a Party)
You may overhear secrets such as:
• Upcoming programs
• Future events
• Someone’s extremely strong take on subtitles
You agree not to disclose anything confidential, proprietary, or said quietly near the snack table.
7. No Drama (Unless It’s Onscreen)
Disagreements about films are allowed.
Personal attacks, gossip, or off-screen drama are not.
If tensions arise, take a breath, imagine a tasteful indie soundtrack, and pivot to snacks.
8.Use of Name, Image & Excellent Vibes
By attending, you consent to possibly appearing in photos or videos capturing:
• Laughter
• Community
• Genuine appreciation
True West may use these images to celebrate volunteers, promote the mission, and prove that people still gather in real spaces and enjoy it.
9. Duration of Agreement
This Agreement applies for the duration of the event and expires naturally when you exit the North Lounge like a perfect closing shot.
10. Final Acknowledgment
By attending, you confirm that:
• You have read this (or at least skimmed it)
• You understand it
• You are here in good faith, good humor, and good company
Thank you for being part of the heart of True West Film Center.
Now enjoy yourself—we’re genuinely glad you’re here. ✨
