ST GEORGE – On March 17, 2010 local filmmakers RB Studios were awarded first and second place at the state UPVA* Creative Excellence Awards Celebration. The 8^th annual competition, held in Salt Lake City, gave filmmakers statewide the opportunity to submit work produced during the past calendar year, to be judged on their creative and technical merit by professional filmmakers outside of the state.

RB Studios was awarded second place in the category of corporate production for their commercial for Remember The Word: The Book of Mormon Edition, a scripture DVD trivia game. First place in the event video production category was awarded for the Brigadoon teaser they put together for Pine View High.

Russ Broadhead, founder of RB Studios said, “We are so honored to be recognized by our peers. We have met some wonderful people through our involvement in UPVA and are inspired by the love they have for their craft. Jenny and I want to send a big “Thank You!” to all our clients who have allowed us to be a part of their weddings and for the trust they placed in us to capture their special event(s).”

We recently had the privilege of interviewing one of our past brides and her mother. Darci was married in June 2008 and she and her mother, Sherry, were kind enough to share with us some of their thoughts about Darci’s wedding, particularly the wedding film we made. During the interview Darci mentioned that her father-in-law passed away suddenly last October and that her wedding film now has additional value because we were able to capture him sharing his feelings about her and his son, Colby. We are so happy that we were able to capture these special feelings so that Darci and Colby can watch their wedding film and feel like her father-in–law is close by.

Sherry shared with us that she was extremely grateful for the wedding film we produced for Darci and Colby. She mentioned that wedding films are so important because they instantly become a priceless treasure that will be cherished for years to come, and suggested that couples do whatever it takes to get one. It means so much to us that these two wonderful women took time out of their busy schedules to speak with us and to know that our hard work (their wedding film) is something they treasure.

Thank you Darci and Sherry for your friendship. And thank you Laura Stagg for being so amazing to work with and so darn talented! To all our clients, past and future, we humbly thank you. We love what we do and couldn’t live our dream without you. Thank You!
