STUDIONOW SELECTED A WINNER IN THE 34th ANNUAL TELLY AWARDS

We are proud to telly everyone some exciting news.

Nashville, TN - APRIL 18th, 2013 - The Telly Awards has named StudioNow as a Silver winner in the 34th Annual Telly Awards for their Verizon Wireless LTE Campaign in the "Business to Consumer" category.  StudioNow was selected as a winner out of 13,000 entries from all 50 states and 5 continents.

For its 34th season, The Telly Awards once again joined forces with YouTube to give the public the power to view and rate videos submitted as part of the People’s Telly Awards. A prestigious judging panel of over 500 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Silver Telly and a member of The Silver Telly Council, judged the competition, upholding the historical standard of excellence that Telly represents. The Silver Council evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work – entries do not compete against each other – rather entries are judged against a high standard of merit. Less than 10% of entries are chosen as Winners of the Silver Telly, our highest honor. Approximately 25% of entries are chosen as Winners of the Bronze Telly.

“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “StudioNow's accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”

"What ended up on screen is the result of a tremendous collaboration between everyone on the team and demonstrates the power of our Creative Network,"  said John Wallace, StudioNow's VP of Production. "We continually strive to be on the cutting edge of video production and are honored to be recognized by the Telly Awards for our work on the Verizon campaign."

Zita was part of the first phase of the IBM project in Bolzano. She "turned out to be a dynamo—a fantastic point of focus and lens for the project," said Ben Tyson, executive producer at StudioNow, the formerly AOL-owned production company that works on many AOL and HuffPo online video projects.

Short Doc Film for IBM

In Bolzano, Italy, almost a quarter of the population is over the age of 65. In fact, Italy, along with Japan, has one of the oldest populations in the world. As a result, Bolzano currently spends close to half of their social services budget on services for the elderly. This includes assisted living facilities where they receive around-the-clock care. But assisted living facilities can cost a city and the people who stay there vast amounts of money that, within these economic conditions, municipalities and families just don't have. The solution: Keep them in their homes where they are comfortable.
