*OSD Ambassador Program Overview:*
The OSD Ambassador Program (OSDAP) enlists sneaker personalities and enthusiasts from around the United States and the world to cover the sneaker-scene, from their perspective and on their community, all-the-while allowing their personality to shine through.  The video footage must be filmed (mini-DV or Hard Drive) and edited by the Ambassador. It will be featured on one or both OSD video channels— www.o-s-d.tv and www.wosd.tv.  It's a great way to get your film career off the ground by  documenting a topic that has far reaching interests. For more info, contact Dee Wells at above email.
