Are you hiring crew?

If you are hiring crew, please follow basic communication practices. Understand yours is not the only post on cl so calling with "This is Ed calling about your email" won't make any sense to most people.
State the name of your project, and what specifically you are asking for.
We apply for many jobs. We aren't going to know when you just say, "I'm the producer. You answered my post." Since you are not the only person posting on cl you must be specific.
Also, speak clearly. This is important. If you are really a producer or director, you will know the importance of clear communication. Speaking rapidly and slurring your speech tells me you are A. drunk dialing or B. a horrible communicator. Either way, it's not a good way to attract talent or crew to your project. If you've had a stroke and your speech is slurred (and I work with a very talented man who has) then maybe let your first communication be via email, so it's clear who you are and what you expect.
Please...state your name, why you are calling and what specifically you want.

Thank You.
