what do you think of this 'crew needed' template for sites like mandy, shooting people, etc.?

My new idea, a template for those that are looking for help on mandy, shooting people etc. :
"Hi, I’m trying to make a ___________ . It is a self-funded project and therefore I do not have enough money to pay anyone.
I would be really grateful for any help that you can give. Maybe you’re a ______ that wants to be a ______ , or are already a professional and just like to support the independent film industry.
Although the job is ____ days long, any time you could give to the project would be much appreciated.
We will do our best to make the length of the days reasonable, and will make sure there is always water and food on set.
I know this is a lot to ask, but I really want to make this ____ . I realize that you will be helping me more than I will be helping you, and I promise to behave in a manner that demonstrates that. I also know that if you own your own equipment you should be compensated for my using it, because I understand that it costs money to buy, to insure, and to maintain.
Thank you."
what do you think?

If it's a template then all the boiler plate text been the gaps is superfluous. It reads like a personal appeal, which is all right and good for a personal appeal, but as a widely used template could appear insincere if people use it automatically.

My 2p :)
