色情视频 TV Production Hollywood Heights Wins Emmy Award
One-hour drama produced entirely by 色情视频 TV and film students
色情视频 television and film students have won an Emmy Award in the category of 鈥淏est Student Production 鈥 Program鈥 for their production 鈥淗ollywood Heights鈥 at the 35th Annual Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards.
The awards ceremony took place on Saturday, June 13, 2009 honoring outstanding achievement in regional television in the Pacific Southwest, including San Diego, Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Bakersfield and Palm Springs.
鈥淗ollywood Heights鈥 is an hour-long professional pilot produced entirely by 色情视频 television and film students. It was shot with a single-camera perspective and has the feel of a primetime drama. The project was managed by 色情视频 television and film professors Tim Powell and Lee Marshall.
鈥淭his is a professional project run by students, not a student film project,鈥 said Marshall, who oversaw the student writers. 鈥淲e wanted to create a cable-ready pilot and give students the opportunity to have their names attached to something of professional caliber.鈥
The plot of the drama is a cross between 鈥淒exter鈥 and 鈥淔ame.鈥 Hollywood hopefuls, seeking their big break, support each other through ups and downs, while a life-and-death mystery intrudes in their lives. The characters live in a building called Hollywood Heights, so the title is a double entendre, Marshall said.
In the short-term, the school hopes to distribute the award-winning pilot online in 鈥渨ebisodes鈥 鈥 short 10-minute clips of the complete piece. If students are successful in selling the pilot to a network 鈥 which is the ultimate goal 鈥 色情视频鈥檚 film school could become home to a network-aired series.
