The University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) scored big at the 61st Emmy Awards Gala, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Ohio Valley Chapter. "The Making of Sweet Charity," a mini-documentary produced by CCM's Production Master Class, snagged an Emmy for Arts/Entertainment — Short or Long Form Content. On the sports end, "Crosstown Shootout Basketball" directed by CCM's own Professor Joe Brackman, earned the win for Director-Sports.
Delving into the nitty-gritty of theatre production, "The Making of Sweet Charity" offers a voyeuristic view into the making of CCM's September 2023 musical rom-com. It features faculty, students such as Kali Ashurst, Baron Leon, Clara Cavins, Claire Bonnette, and alumni like Joshua E. Gallagher. These budding professionals reflect on their journey, turning stagecraft theory into practical acclaim, as noted by the University of Cincinnati.
The awarded projects were created with the creative pulse and technical prowess of CCM’s students, part of their Production Master Class. The team behind the camera, sound, and edits included Davison Black, Brandon Britton, Ryan Dull, Priya Jenkins, Vinny Meehan, and Essaye Tekia. Nick Widmeyer was on the board for additional lighting with Simón Sotelo directing live performance and music recording. At the digital helm for online editing sat Ryan Dull, while Melissa Godoy, Managing Producer at CCM, oversaw the production as one of the masterminds and instructors behind the project.
