You don't say but it's a significant point. Is there a budget, a deal, an opportunity or any benefit on offer to the film makers? Otherwise you're asking a lot for nothing. We made a film for St. Dunstan and the Royal Engineers a few years back in Northern Ghana. Did it for 5K and were significantly responsible for bringing clean water to a remote and needy community. Sometimes a bit of money can bring forth more fruit than bodging. Our film was networked on TV and was joint winner at the London Chilli Film Festival. Unless one can find a film maker of suitable provinance willing and able to give a lot of themselves, not only for free but inevitably at their own cost, the odds of achieving a useful result are likely to be weak
If a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well!.

Hi Leo,
The best way to find someone is to post this as a job through the Production part of the site and click 'Get People'. As John says, because this is a personal project for your own fundraising, you should offer payment for this. Include as much detail as you can, and then submit it to the bulletins. We can post this in the Filmmakers bulletin and the Documentary bulletin, and other members will be able to apply for the role through the website.
Best of luck with it.
Helen
