Producer/director Steven Fischer received two statuettes at the 27th Annual
Telly Awards. Houdini, a magical, effects-heavy music video won in the
Music Video category. Camp Med, a creative, theatrically-produced
promotional video produced for Virginia Hospital Center and NVCC Medical
Education Campus, won in the Film/Video: Information category.

The Telly Awards are a major competition in the national advertising,
television, and video production fields and is one of the most sought-after
awards by leading industry firms, production companies, and ad agencies. Each
year, the Telly Awards generate millions of impressions in national and local
media.

Fischer is currently at work on a documentary called Freedom Dance
with award-winning animator/producer Craig Herron. The story follows the
dramatic escape of a cartoonist from Hungary to the United States during the
violent 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Last year the IDA selected Freedom
Dance for fiscal sponsorship.
