Plum Moving Video wins with “The Life Sentence”

Congratulations

Congratulation to Patrice Nault of Plum Moving Video for winning a Silver Reel in the 45th Annual MCA-I Media Festival for “The Life Sentence”.

The MCA-I Media Festival celebrates excellence in media communications. For more than 40 years, Golden Reel honors have been highly coveted and recognized internationally for their prestige. The name stands for creativity and advancement in technical applications.

Each entry is reviewed by panels of industry professionals from across the country and around the world, many of who are Media Festival award winners themselves. Panels are made up of 5-7 judges. The MCA-I Media Festival is one of a very few festivals that provide feedback to the entrants from the judges. As with many other competitions, entries do not compete against each other and there may be more than one Golden, Silver or Bronze reel in a category.

Entries are evaluated on effective use of the medium, creativity, production values and technical quality in three areas: Message Design, Creative Elements and Production Elements.

Exec. Producer/Client: Rene Howitt
Producer/Director: Kelly Daley
Editor: Jay Cederholm

What does the program include?

We’ve taken 10 very common frustrating parenting situations and put them into a program, so that we can begin discussing with our youth the realities of parenting. This program includes:

  1. Teacher/Instructors manual meeting all national curriculum standards
  2. Manual also includes student worksheets and pre/post student surveys
  3. 10 parenting scenario videos. Each parenting video situation is approx. five-minutes in length. There is one video situation for each of the 10 chapters of this program

The teacher/instructor would begin the class by showing one video. Each scenario will escalate to the point of abuse, neglect, or dysfunction. The video is then stopped and the teacher/instructor can turn to class asking….what went wrong? What other choices did the parents have? What will you do?
