Students needed for commercial of BC Digital Media Technology

Anyone who is available to be in a commercial that is being shot today,  August 24, 1 p.m., please come to Bldg. 70, R. 225, South Campus. Broward College is shooting a commercial that will highlight South Campus, and specific programs offered here. If you are on campus, stop by. You may be on your way to being a commercial talent. This is a volunteer job, but you can gain bonus points for your discussion grade. I am not sure how long it will take, but certainly not too long. We are scheduled for 1-3 p.m., but I think it will be less than a half hour of shooting time.
