Students have PBIFF business cards and email addresses and are finding out what it is like to work for a busy non-profit organization. Randi Emerman, president of the Palm Beach International Film Festival, says that she is benefitting from having more volunteer workers in the office but mainly wants to help students learn what it takes to organize and execute a film screening from start to finish.
