Waterlife wins a Webby!

It was an exciting day at NFB/Interactive. Besides launching the new site, the incredible Waterlife site was awarded the Webby for Best Documentary Single. Loc Dao from the NFB and Adrian Belina from Jam 3 Media were in New York to pick up the award.

I had the great pleasure of writing the five-word Webby acceptance speech, which Loc delivered with amazing intensity. Watch it here…

I also got to produce the Webby Award Submission video for Waterlife, which I like to think played a small part (okay, a really small part) in garnering the site five “official honoree” nominations.

Congratulations to everyone who worked on the Waterlife project. It really is incredible. If you haven’t seen it, it is now included in NFB/Interactive, which, as mentioned, just launched today.
