emmy award

This past Saturday my husband and I attended the Heartland Region Emmy Awards ceremony where he was nominated for two Emmy Awards. Nomination is such an honor that we were kind of shellshocked when he won one of them! Not that I ever doubted, he truly deserved it.

I wish I could post a link to the film he did but I don't have the original film. It is a topical documentary entitled: Bailando por mi Libertad (Dancing for my Freedom) about a 26 year old Cuban ballet dancer who defected to the U.S. and is now dancing for the Colorado Ballet. It is a short film, about 10 minutes long and features interviews with the dancer, Luis, and footage of his mother, who has not seen him since he left Cuba (3-4 years ago). It's very special and moving. I'm so glad his hard work was honored in such an impressive way.

Now if I could just drag him out of the clouds where he has been all week!

Trying hard to believe it's true:
