04/15/02 - VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFPN)
-- What started out as just a small base video production here has now won an
international film festival award.
"Ecstasy: The End of the Dream," a video
produced by the 30th Communications Squadron won a first place trophy at the 2001 Italian
Film Festival, Eserciti re Popoli, beating out 65 entries from 29 nations.
The production also was awarded a prestigious Telly
Award in 2001. Telly awards are given to outstanding non-network and non-cable video
productions. Previously, the video won the Internal/Public Information Category of the
Department of Defense Visual Information Awards competition and was selected as one of the
five DOD entries to the Italian Film Festival.
Secretary of the Air Force Dr. James Roche accepted
the trophy on behalf of the Air Force in a special Pentagon ceremony after the film
festival.
