"We're completely open to suggestions, and we're really looking for creative ideas. If you want to make a film that highlights what your group does, or issues you think are important, we want to hear from you. You'll get training on how to make develop ideas into a short film and all the technical processes involved. We need camera operators, scriptwriters, composers, editors...and plenty of enthusiasm and creativity!"
