Austin's Movie wins a National Award!!

Here's the latest from Tim Nagae, filmmaker mentioned in an earlier post:

Dear Friends:

I would like to inform you that "Austin's Movie" won a national award for film and TV programs called, the "Accolade Award - the Award of Excellence: short documentary." The Accolade's website is www.theaccolade.net and they are going to post the name of "Austin's Movie" on this site soon.

There is another one above the "Award of Excellence," called "Best of Show." But there was no Best of Show for TV programs for this time, which means the "Award of Excellence" is supposed to be the best....? By the way, "Haley and Madonna" won the 2004 Best of Show 4 years ago. If "Austin's Movie" won the Best of Show, a short clip of the movie would be posted on their website, though. But I'm very very happy with this award!

This is a great honor to me, Austin, Austin's family, those who were involved in the production of "Austin's Movie," especially John Sauve, Donna, Matt, CTN and WFUM that broadcast the program. And of course, Lucy for inspiring me to make this movie. Thank you for supporting the production of "Austin's Movie"!

Sincerely,

Tim Nagae
