Living Arts College @ School of Communication Arts (LAC) is proud to announce Michael Castro’s MMI Public Relations Telly Bronze Award. He competed on a national level and produced the video, “TCG Machines”. Why is this video different? Michael says he wanted to tell the story from a machine’s point-of-view. He adds, “It’s not impossible, it’s just difficult.”

The Telly Awards honor the very best local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video, film productions and work created for the Web. Since 1978, their mission has been to strengthen the visual arts community by inspiring, promoting and supporting creativity. The 30th Annual Telly Awards received more than 13,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.

Bronze Winners are awarded a Bronze Telly statuette designed by the same firm that makes the Oscar® and Emmy®. In addition, each Winner is awarded a commemorative certificate. Judges evaluate entries to recognize distinction in creative work — entries do not compete against each other. Instead, entries are judged against a high standard of merit.

Michael is currently pursuing an Associate’s degree in Digital Filmmaking anticipating graduation in September 2010.
