Looking to fill a few crew positions.

For various shoot dates in August, September and beyond....

I'm currently seeking student filmmakers to fill crew positions for 3 upcoming video projects. I'm producing and directing a vignette-based project for a publishing company that specializes in learning materials for law students. The positions I'm looking to fill are considered hybrid roles that require, within reason, a certain amount of multi-tasking. I'm essentially looking for PA's, but PA's may have to play "scripty," grip, or 2nd AD. I'm also looking for a shooter with a 5D or 7D to be my "Camera 2" for B-roll type stuff. My shoots are very efficient as well as very laid back. Shoot days usually run 8-10 hours. Meals, copy and credit are provided, of course. I always use professional actors. While the rate will vary from project to project, I can pay $75 per day on this one. The rate for "Camera 2" will be a little higher. I really need a few smart, enthusiastic, reliable and helpful people to join the team. This can be a great learning experience for the right person and there is definitely potential for future jobs.

Please keep me your submissions simple and your cover letters SHORT.

Here's a tip: personalizing your introduction goes a long way. The minute I sense I'm reading a cookie cutter cover letter or something that was written "To whom it may concern," I delete it.

Talk to you soon....
