I'm a 15 year-old filmmaker hoping to make professional shorts- how can I get a real crew on my side?

Basically, I think I'm getting to the point where my shorts need crews working on them, but out of fear I haven't actually been able to ask anyone-- how can I win over a crew of adults to work with a 15 year-old director?

    Northwest Film Forum has a callboard that I highly recommend using to solicit crews. Just include in your call what positions you're looking for. You won't need to include your age, and I wouldn't suggest including it. Most crews will ask to see your previous work, which should speak for itself. Then you can reveal your age and it really shouldn't matter.

    Here's information from our site on how to access the call board.

    This is an ageist industry. I’m 30 and I sometimes have trouble being taken seriously.
