"Great story nicely shot and edited. It shows that a lot of time and effort went into this story."

Honorable Mention
William Middeke KARE, Minneapolis "Its Harshest Blow"
"Loved the nats in the story. Great stuff. Very well shot. Not much I would do differently. Great job."
"Nice Story. I love the sound of the wind in this story. Great visuals. Nice story. The sequence of his closing his car hatch and leaving was a bit jarring but that may have been the only thing I didn't like."
