Aya Al-Bouchi

Let's just say that rather than getting myself into meeting the famous actors and actresses or even to watch any or all of the films being screened, this wasn't the experience that I got in this previous Doha Tribeca Film Festival highlight events.

But rather the experience as one of the volunteers working to make the event happen.

So we had our all-out meeting on the Aspire Park and saw all of us wonderful people of mixed races who'd like to participate and dedicate their time to make it happen. Here we were now assigned to our preferred departments. We claimed our shirt and badge two days 'fore the start of the event. And on with the show.
