An Emmy Win for our Asahel Curtis Documenary

The 30 min. Cascade PBS documentary “Asahel: The Curtis Collection,” won a Northwest Regional Emmy in the Cultural/Historical category at this year’s ceremonies on June 7. I’m proud of a lot of the work I do at Cascade PBS, but this win was especially exciting because I served as co-producer as well as lead editor.

Our team worked our butts off to make a documentary about an early 20th century photographer and library archivists feel relatable and meaningful. The result is a film I’m very proud of.

I even had to make our acceptance speech because the director and co-producer Shannen Ortale couldn’t make the ceremony! Like every gay boy, making an acceptance speech at an awards ceremony was a bucket list item that I can now scratch off.
