Design for Video Production

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:32:20 -0500

Dear Mr Paradis,

I am an Algonquin College alumni (twice) and have recently started a production company that is preparing to shoot its first mini-series Untamed Lands.

At the moment we're looking for one or two students who might be interested in the opportunity to use their skills working on such a project. Our needs are fairly small, but given that it is our first production, so is our budget. Students would be asked to work for experience, fun, and on-screen credit rather than financial compensation. It could also lead to future paid employment down the road.

If you have any students who may be interested in the opportunity please pass along my contact info. Thank you.
