BRIGHT LIGHT & ST. XAVIER TEAM UP FOR AWARD WINNING
VIDEO
Cincinnati, Ohio – July 25, 2012 – The Telly Awards has
named Bright Light Visual Communications as a Bronze winner in the 33rd Annual
Telly Awards for their documentary titled “X-Changes. 50 Years of Racial Diversity”. Bright Light’s documentary was chosen from
nearly 11,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries.
The documentary celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first
African American students entering St. Xavier High School. The school wanted to tell the compelling
story of the challenges those first student pioneers met during the early
1960’s.
Bright Light’s Executive Producer/Director and St. X alum,
Ryan C. Spalazzi (’95) spent two days capturing on camera interviews with
former students and faculty and one day of shooting B-Roll at the school. “Giving back is one thing, but having the
opportunity to sit down with fascinating individuals and being able to dig deep
into emotions that were felt over 50 years ago was a moving experience,”
Spalazzi said. Bright Light’s David
Allison edited the visuals into a moving and motivational documentary celebrating
the pioneers who laid the foundation to make St. X the school that it is
today.
St. Xavier President, Fr. Timothy Howe, S.J. observed that
“a story this good will go a long way toward showing our most important
benefactors the good work their gifts are doing for the school and may well
compel some of them to help even more.“
“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in
film and video,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “Bright Light Visual Communication’s
accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their
craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”
