Reporter Bo Emerson took some time to visit our facility yesterday to prepare an article on our new series, “This American Land” for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We got pretty much the whole gang together except for Gary Strieker who was home in Colorado. It was a real treat to meet Bo who is a long time reporter here in Atlanta. Super nice guy and we’re looking forward to see what he comes up with! Host Caroline Raville strikes a pose. Bo Emerson takes notes, while Bruce relaxes in the back. ———– Caroline Raville and Bruce Burkhardt posing in the theater in front of the TAL logo up on the big screen. ————– You talkin’ to me…….. ———————- Bruce Burkhardt and BCM Principal Walter Biscardi, Jr. Walter and Bruce go back to the CNN Environment Unit back in 1993. ————– Adrienne hiding in the edit suite to get away from the cameras…. ————- Bo Emerson chatting with Series Producer Marsha Walton —————— Back back away from the controls Bruce, back away……. ———————- Bruce makes an excellent point to point to Caroline while Marsha looks on.

Foul Water was honored with the following awards: Feature Documentary: 1st Place. Best Director: Gary Strieker Best Score / Soundtrack: Patrick Belden Best Voice Over: Sigourney Weaver Best Documentary Concept We’re especially excited for Patrick Belden.

Really proud to announce the completion of our latest project produced in partnership with Cielo Productions and Producer Gary Strieker. Medical textile company, Vestergaard Frandsen was looking for a special way to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. They didn’t just want to spend a lot of money on a party, a company trip, etc… They decided to put their money and their company efforts in creating an innovative event to promote HIV awareness and testing in Africa, specifically in Kenya.
