CRAIGSLIST AD FAILURE #2

LOOKING FOR CAMERA/PRODUCER

I own a small production company currently involved in a number of projects, both paid and unpaid. Our primary focus is cinematic work and I am looking for an individual who is interested in developing in the industry. 

Primary attributes required: 
Some flexibility with schedule and intention of staying in the Charlotte area for the foreseeable future 
Interest in both developing as a Producer and skills in the area of camera. We are currently working with a Canon DSLR and will be moving to RED, but maintaining DSLR's as B-Cameras. Some experience and knowledge of RED is strongly preferred. 
Some experience in the industry: on set and/or film school experience 
Good attitude and humble spirit to work on all projects with excellence 

This is not a full-time paid position. There will be opportunities to be paid on commercial shoots and for-profit projects. Much of what I am looking for is intern-type work that will offer the opportunity to develop with our company and be available as larger projects come up. 

Please do not simply send a resume with daily rates. I am looking to develop a positive culture and only interested in indviduals willing to put insignificant pro-bono work in additiion to paid projects. 

MY EMAIL RESPONSE TO THIS GUY-----

SO YOU WANT SOMEBODY WHO CAN RUN THE RED AND WORK FOR FREE? WOW, I LOVE HOW EVERY "PRODUCER" IN CHARLOTTE IS A CROOK WHO HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING.

MY RATE IS $150.00 A DAY WITHOUT MY CAMERA RENTAL, BUT I'M ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU CAN'T AFFORD THAT SO I'LL SPARE YOU BULLSHITTING ME THROUGH VARIOUS EMAILS.

Stop posting bullshit ads on craigslist please. It takes up real Professionals' time. Thanks.
