Santa Fe University of Art and Design Film School Sophomore Wins a Regional Rocky Mountain Emmy® Award
Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) October 29, 2015 -- Santa Fe University of Art and Design (SFUAD) film major Joe Carter (’18) recently won a Regional Rocky Mountain Emmy® Award for Best Editing (Student Production Category) on his short film, "Disappearance.” It was the only film from New Mexico to win an award in the College/University Student Production category, and was also a selection in the just-concluded Santa Fe Independent Film Festival. Each year the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Chapters across the country recognize and reward excellence in their broadcasting communities, with the Regional Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards Gala taking place in Arizona this October.
Carter shot the film on his Canon T5i, the camera every incoming student receives when they enroll at SFUAD as part of the university’s ‘Camera in Every Hand’ program. This year The Film School at SFUAD gave new students an even newer model, the Canon T6i.
“We congratulate Joe on this tremendous recognition for his film,” said Chris Eyre, chair of The Film School at SFUAD. “It is this type of accolade that our students and alumni are consistently known and recognized for, and we are proud of our role in guiding them as they strengthen their storytelling and production capabilities.”
Carter is from Walnut Creek, Calif. and is earning his BFA in Film with a specialization in Production.
