Rank and File
For one weekend in February, True/False becomes one of the largest "employers" in Columbia: roughly 1 out of every 200 people is a volunteer! It's our version of Fight Club, as this pool of Columbia All Stars donate their off hours, returning to their day jobs battered and bruised, with far-off looks of contentment in their eyes. It's no lie that the fest would not and could not happen without them. As you walk the streets and haunt the theaters this weekend, please say thank you to someone in a volunteer T-shirt. They've earned it.
