Tom Diskin made a short film about small business entrepreneurs in southern Oregon. “If we want the next generation to have a Bright Future, we need to help them to create one.”
I plan to submit this short film (Entrepreneurs) for your consideration on or before deadline.
Your website should help me get all the necessary submission requirements.
Thank you for providing this opportunity for film makers. I know how much work goes into the preparation for these events. Please let me know if I can volunteer.
