Dear Professor < Name >,
We're starting the Shortfundly Campus Hub at our college and we'd like to invite you to become our Faculty Advisor. Shortfundly (www.shortfundly.com) is the hub for filmmakers to practice and showcase short films, improve their short film filmmaking skills, compete in film festival challenges and showcase their profile. We hope that it will become a way for short film filmmaking students to meet, share ideas, and improve our film making skills. As our Faculty Lead, you would serve as a mentor to the chapter, provide guidance on short film filmmaking problems We think you would be great for this role. Please let us know if you can take it up!
Thanks,
