"Memphis Poverty" masterfully tells an important American story in a non-traditional way, bypassing the literal translation of poverty to strike the soul. The artful blend of documentary moments, poetry, music, cinematic shooting and editing craftsmanship moves our art of storytelling forward in a dramatic way. "Memphis Poverty" was the best use of multimedia in the completion and helps establish a tone for how we might approach complex stories in the future.
"Dying for Relief" earns special recognition for itas masterful storytelling in a more traditional way. The work's moments and insightful editing stood apart from the crowd and sets a strong example for multimedia storytelling.
