Help sought from CMCO majors for creating personal video project

Tuesday, April 4th, 2017

Esteemed colleagues,

I need some help with a small project. I want to create a short 30-second video that expresses my passion, creativity and personality. I’d like to add this video to my LinkedIn profile, and I’d like for it to complement my resume.

Does anyone know of any cinema and media communication or film and video production majors who may be interested? I’d be happy to compensate anyone willing to help me with this.

Thanks!
