More from the New England Emmy Awards

Congratulations to our fellow Rhode Island filmmakers for their New England Emmy awards: Tim Gray, who took home two trophies; John Lavall, who took home one; and Channel 12 reporter Tim White, who brought home another. I was a good friend of Tim's late father, Jack -- good to see his son carrying on a great journalistic tradition.
Though we didn't win, two Eagle Peak Media folks were on hand May 22 at Gillette Stadium for the ceremony: Ben Mesiti, who scored ON THE LAKE, and Alex McDougall, the voice of Barbara Bowie. Here they are in their evening ware.

TOP JOURNAL GIVES THUMBS UP

We didn't win the New England Emmy Saturday, but we did capture another, larger honor -- one with resonance outside the region. "An impressive documentary, studded with intriguing detail... Its tenor is elegiac," said The Lancet, Britain's leading medical journal, and one of the most prestigious in the world, in its issue of May 22.
