AND THE TELLY AWARD GOES TO...
NAPLES HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND ABG WORLD AUDIO & VIDEO PRODUCTION FOR
"NAPLES ORAL HISTORIES:
IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK"
The Telly Award is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions, and web commercials, videos and films. It is a widely known and highly respected national and international competition and receives over 11,000 entries annually from all 50 states and many foreign countries.
A 2008 partnership between ABG World, LLC and the Naples Historical Society led to a bountiful creation of dozens of professionally produced oral history films. The 24-minute project overview film that won this award is available for viewing at the Naples Historical Society's Cottage Theater - FREE for Members or $10 for admission. Individual feature films are shown year-round. See the Film Exhibit Schedule for more information.
Featured Volunteer: Jim Evans
Special Thanks! go to all of the volunteers who dedicate their time and talent to the Oral History project, including Jim Evans. Jim has become a crucial part of the Oral History production process. By devoting his time as a Production Coordinator, he makes sure things run smoothly on filming day. Because of volunteers like Jim, Naples Historical Society is able to continue interviewing Naples pioneer families for the community's enjoyment.
If you would like to volunteer to help out with our Oral History Program, please contact Ellen Fischer at 239-261-8164.
