Hi Carol,
ok, let me get this straight. You are an "emmy award winning production company" and you want someone to work for you for free for three months.
Carol, I hope you get hit by a car this evening. I will try to identify your company, and report you to the Department of Labor.
Have a nice day.

Also, are you an Emmy Award winning company, or just an individual that played some part in a production that won an Emmy and has now started their own company?
