About a month ago, KINETO received a call from BYU-Broadcasting about a documentary we shot for them in 2006 entitled "Acts of God." The piece was divided into four different episodes that each focused on the LDS Church's humanitarian aid efforts. The project involved Travis, Matt, Damian, and Isaac traveling to Indonesia, Ghana, Guatemala, and the hurricane-torn cities of the United States. It was shot entirely on HVX200, edited using Final Cut Pro, and originally aired in 2007 on BYU-TV and BYU-International. A year later, BYU-Broadcasting was calling to inform us that we received a Cine Golden Eagle Award in the category of People and Places for "Acts of God." This is really exciting news because the CINE has a 50 year history of honoring great film, video, and media arts. I mean, I hate to name-drop, but Cine has been awarded to such talents as Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Ken Burns. And as of this year, KINETO Pictures, Inc. We're now looking forward to having an Apple "effect" named after us, i.e. move over Ken Burns.
We're really proud of this award and hope that we'll have more opportunities to create such quality work. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen!
You can still catch "Acts of God" on BYU-TV, and for clips and production stills, visit our website.
