Videographer Needed Right Away!

We need a videographer for 10/3 Day 2 of songwriting in the classroom, 10/17 Day 3 at the recording studio and then editing of the final product into a music video using the song created by the students.

The video will be promoted in ASCAP’s Playback Magazine (circulation to 85,000 songwriters, composers and music industry professionals) and also on www.ASCAP.com

The songwriter residency is a mentorship program that provides a platform for songwriters to easily connect and give back to their local communities by engaging and inspiring elementary and middle school students in under-resourced neighborhoods.

If you know of anyone, please have them email me at rperkins@ascap.com

For more details about America SCORES:

America SCORES is a national youth development program that works with kids living in high risk urban areas. Their goal is to get kids engaged before they drop out. They go into under funded schools that have little to no after school programming and they create a full fall, and fullspring season, 5 days/week, soccer and poetry. SCORES kids play soccer three days a week (team-building and fitness) and write poetry two days a week (literacy and self expression.)  They work with 5000 kids in 200 schools in 15 cities, after school, every day. ASCAP has partnered with America SCORES to bring songwriters into the poetry classes to co-write and record a song with the kids.
