Press Release

KRUSING AMERICA Double Telly Award Winner

Los Angeles, CA [PRWEB] March 23, 2015

The Telly Awards has named KRUSING AMERICA two-time winner in the 35th Annual Telly Awards for BEST ORIGINAL SERIES and THE PEOPLE'S TELLY for the 6-part travel docu-series created by Linda Kruse.

“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “Linda Kruse's accomplishment on KRUSING AMERICA illustrates that creativity, skill, and dedication to the craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production."

ABOUT KRUSING AMERICA

After spending most of his life outside the United States defending a country he’s never really lived in, where does a decorated 20-year US Army soldier, back from the War, go home to…if he’s never really had one? In this 6-part family travel documentary series, Lt. Colonel Victor Krus and his family travel the country in search of their home, sweet home. 

“It’s the story of an American hero without an American hometown”, said Linda Kruse, series creator and the sister of Lt. Colonel Krus.  "With the war coming to an end, no story resonates more than the story of coming home. It's a twist on the classic feeling of ‘coming home’. As with all of my work, my hope is to touch the hearts of viewers and inspire the country," Linda Kruse said. 

ABOUT THE TELLY AWARDS

Founded in 1979, the Telly is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work from the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.

For its 35th season, The Telly Awards once again joined forces with YouTube to give the public the power to view and rate videos submitted as part of the People’s Telly Awards. In addition to recognition from the Silver Telly Council, the judging panel that selects the Telly Awards winners, the Internet community helps decide the People’s Telly Awards winners.

A prestigious judging panel of over 500 accomplished industry professionals judged the competition, upholding the historical standard of excellence that Telly represents.  The Council evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work – entries do not compete against each other – rather entries are judged against a high standard of merit.  Less than 10% of entries are chosen as Winners.

"I heard there were nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, so getting a Telly is truly an honor. But getting two Telly's, and one of them a People's Telly – I was floored," said Linda.
