JOB FOR FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER

Dear Mr. Gort,

I work for a production company in Los Angeles. We are shooting part of a documentary for MTV in the Hartford area. I am looking for a production assistant (paid positions) to assist with our shoot. I wondered if you might have a few students who would be interested.

Our special is an upuplifting TV documentary special about young people coming of age and making the big life choices that we all face. It is a socio-positive portrayal of real life issues and meant to be counter programming to the ‘Jersey Shore’ highly dramatized, sometimes negative, genre of shows.

If you know of anyone, I would appreciate it if you could pass along my email address so that they can contact me. My email address is sheliacollins1@mac.com We will be shooting from the afternoon of Dec 1st - Dec. 3rd

Best regards,
Shelia Collins
