About Aotearoa Surf Film Festival : Thirteen years strong, the Aotearoa Surf Film Festival (ASFF) is the country’s premier celebration of surf cinema, community, and culture. In 2025, we delivered our biggest tour yet — 26 sold-out screenings across Aotearoa, a record-breaking 5,636 attendees, and our most locally-produced lineup to date. From free outdoor cinema in Takapuna alongside 2000+ others to intimate cinema screenings in Kaikōura, Whangamatā and everywhere inbetween, ASFF connects people through powerful storytelling and a shared love of the ocean.

This is a key leadership role responsible for managing the full delivery of our national film tour, working closely with the Event Director to execute a seamless, inspiring, and logistically sound festival season.
You’ll be in charge of delivering 20+ screenings over an 8–10 week period across nearly every region of Aotearoa, from indoor theatres to free outdoor events. This role is ideal for someone who thrives under pressure, loves the road, and is passionate about storytelling, surf culture, and community events.
