Hello Fellow Writers, Directors, Actors & Film Makers, This is my first time posting so I'm not exactly sure how this platform works but, I'm going to give it a try. First, Let me introduce myself my name is Donald Czerwinski from Cleveland and I have a Podcast called Rant & Rave with Don Michaels (Link to YouTube & Facebook Below). On this Podcast we interview a variety of people throughout Northeast, Ohio from Actors, Directors, Boxing, MMA or Kung Fu Schools, Authors etc. I recently have been getting into doing short skits and would like to expand that into short films while continuing to do interviews promoting people and their business etc. So you ask, What am I looking looking for? Good Question. I'm seeking people that can help me in the following manner. 1) Help Write Short Skits 2) Help Write Short Films ( This year I plan on getting into the local film festivals) 3) Help With Promoting The Films, Skits, Short Films etc. 4) Actors & Actresses 5) So in other words I'm looking to build a team off of what I've already established. This would be a Pro-Bono until we picked up advertisers etc. I thank you in advance for your time and look forward to speaking with any of you that might be interested. You can contact me directly at 216-333-9593 or by email at www.donaldczerwinski@gmail.com Thanks Again https://www.facebook.com/donmichaelsrr/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTLf49aXmrD3FVrWWNowxhg?view_as=subscriber */s/ Donald Czerwinski* 216-333-9593
