CFAR is looking for a videographer for next Wednesday
Hi all, CFAR is looking for a videographer in the Bay Area to shoot and edit a 1-minute video introducing us. Do you know anyone?
If so, please send an email to them and me (critch@rationality.org) that introduces us!
We’ll need to shoot the video on Wednesday, Oct 16, or possibly Thursday, Oct 17, and have it edited within about 24 hours.
Thanks for any help tracking someone down!
Sincerely,

Also, I’m assuming this is for your YC application
