CHESTNUT HILL, Mass., November 14, 2012/ 3BL Media/ - With 4 billion videos watched on YouTube every day and projections that video will make up 75 percent of Internet traffic in the coming years, communicating by video has gone from a luxury to a necessity for any organization looking to tell its story.

The Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship's 5th annual Film Festival, sponsored by Pitney Bowes, will let you share that story with thousands of viewers and demonstrate how you are using video as a communication tool.
