GOLDEN, CO, April 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tara Demmon was still in college at Colorado State University when she produced an award-winning documentary in the fall of 2009. Now, over a year later, Tara, along with fellow classmates, Kaley Wolff, and Kim Cilli-Turner are being honored with an Honorable Mention award from the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) Festival of Media Arts, in the category of "Student Documentary".
The documentary is about BASE jumpers. BASE stands for Buildings, Antennae, Spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs). Tara came up with the idea because she knows a lot of people who participate in both BASE jumping and skydiving, and felt that they are closely related. "BASE jumping is not a well-known sport, but the jumpers who seek the adrenaline rush it provides are very dedicated and passionate about it," Tara says. "It's a high-risk, high-reward sport and I wanted to share their enthusiasm for what they do and why they do it,"
The BEA Festival of Media Arts is a worldwide exhibition of award-winning student and faculty works in a variety of categories, including audio, interactive multimedia, scriptwriting and documentary. It is a refereed exhibition and the perfect time to showcase the outstanding work of both students and their teachers. The goal of BEA is to encourage and enhance creative activities in broadcasting and other forms of electronic communication. BEA was formally known as the Association for Professional Broadcast Education and was established in 1955. They changed their name to the Broadcast Education Association in 1973, but they still have a long track record of supporting the growth and development of the audio/visual communications industry, including the ongoing education of new students.
Tara attended BEA's annual convention in Las Vegas, April 9-13. There, she received recognition and exhibition of the documentary, as well as the opportunity to meet and network with other multimedia professionals from around the world. While in Las Vegas, she also attended the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention, which took place at the same time. While this association is not related to BEA, it gave broadcast enthusiasts another chance to see the latest technology and meet some of the people who are revolutionizing the world of audio and video.
Tara has worked for Page 1 Solutions for a year and a half and is an integral part of their in-house video department. She has spearheaded several important projects, including the recent launch of Page 1's new C3 Video service, which allows medical and legal practices to create custom video for their website and Internet marketing efforts at an affordable cost.
