We Need Your Help Making A Heartfelt Video For Hispanic Heritage Month

*(Las instrucciones en Español se pueden encontrar a continuación)

Hispanic Heritage Month is just around the corner. To celebrate, we want to hear about those special places and people that have helped connect you with your heritage! We are hoping to hear from people all over the country. All you have to do is film a quick selfie video on your cell phone and submit a photograph and/or video of a person that helped connect you with your heritage. If we use your video, you’ll be paid $100 U.S. dollars.

Details

Video submissions are due by 07/22/2019.

Please email selfie videos to vidsub@shareability.com. Include your full name, phone number, City, and PayPal email address (if applicable) in the email.

In a special place that has helped you connect with your heritage (it could be a whole town, a church, a restaurant, grandma’s kitchen, or anywhere in between), film a selfie video of yourself responding to the prompts below (in Spanish or English, whatever you’re most comfortable with):

When Filming:

Film with your cell phone horizontally (sideways), an arms length away from yourself.

Film during the day in an area with a lot of light (outside or in a room with windows).

Avoid setting up backdrops.

Tips for Success (increase your chances of being chosen!):

Be authentic. No acting please.

People who film their selfie videos in a special place that has connected them with their heritage are more likely to be selected, so please do so if at all possible!

Email a downloadable video (please do not send via YouTube). Services such as Google Drive, WeTransfer, and DropBox allow you to send HD videos for free.
