“Not to age myself, but I’ve been looking at a ton of college admissions videos for my friends’ kids this year (SCADS of them — ugh, sorry). So, I feel like I can say on good authority that this one is a wonder. It’s gorgeous, dynamic and does a super effective job of making the school shine. No surprise here… everything coming out of this Savannah powerhouse is pristine.”

5. Ocean Watch | A Story of Deep Sea Exploration by Schmidt Ocean Institute
2025 Award of Excellence: Film & Video – General: Environmental & Sustainability
“Strangely, after recently being tossed by Galapagos currents and shadowed by hammerheads, I’m still drawn to the deep. The ocean overwhelms, but it also mesmerizes. This piece nails that balance with cinematography that feels reverent, vast, and quietly unshakable.”

“As a proud Dog Mom, this one had me at ‘woof.’ Leap Group Agency’s spot for the American Kennel Club is a perfect reminder of how much our four-legged friends enrich our lives, and how much goes on behind the scenes to keep tails wagging. It’s heartfelt, polished, and frankly, my dog would’ve voted for it too if he wasn’t busy barking at my neighbor.”

11. French language and Francophonie film by Gedeon
2025 Award of Excellence: Film & Video – General: Cultural Institutions
“Maybe it’s the French in me, but I couldn’t not pick this one. I grew up listening to MC Solaar, so hearing his voice again was both nostalgic and powerful. The film blends rhythm, poetry and storytelling with striking visuals that really stay with you. I also love how the architecture plays such a central role. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate French culture today.”
