Festival Theater Flip Crew

Festival Theater Flip CrewTemporary Part-Time Assignment at Alamo Drafthouse Indy

Lights. Camera. Clean-up.

The Heartland Film Festival is taking over Alamo Drafthouse Indy from October 8 through October 18, and we are assembling a high-energy crew to keep the theaters clean, stocked, and ready for every screening, private event, and festival guest.

This is a great opportunity to earn extra money while being part of Indianapolis’ most exciting film events. You will be surrounded by up-and-coming movies, filmmakers, actors, directors, and serious movie lovers. You might even meet a few people before they become famous.(Please remain cool. No stalking.) The work itself is not glamorous, but the experience and perks definitely are.

Your Role in the Production

As a member of our Festival Theater Flip Crew, you will move quickly between screenings to reset theaters and prepare spaces for the next audience. Think of it as a fast-paced busser position with a cinematic twist.

Your duties will include:

Removing trash and clearing theaters between screenings
Washing and sanitizing tables and seats
Sweeping and cleaning theater areas
Cleaning, restocking, and checking restrooms throughout each shift
Walking the parking lot and exterior areas to collect trash
Helping set up private festival events
Cleaning and resetting event spaces after the credits roll
Supporting events in the VIP Theater, patio, and Hot Rod Lounge
Jumping in wherever needed to keep the festival running smoothly

This Role Moves Fast

Festival screenings run on a schedule, which means theater flips must happen quickly. This is an active, physical job for someone who can hustle without sacrificing cleanliness or attention to detail.

You must be able to:

Move quickly for extended periods
Walk long distances throughout a shift
Frequently climb multiple stairs
Bend, stoop, reach, lift, wipe, and carry
Repeatedly lift and move up to 25 pounds
Work efficiently as part of a team
Maintain a positive attitude when the theater is busy
Follow cleaning, sanitation, and safety procedures

If you prefer a quiet desk and a slow pace, this is probably not your scene. If you like high energy, teamwork, movies, and getting things done, we want to meet you.
