The 2011 AAU Producer Awards

Last night, at the 2011 ANM/VFX Spring Show in Morgan Auditorium, our dedicated group of producers, both MFA and BFA, were honored for their integral roles in the recent successes of departmental and independent collaboratives.

It was fitting. For more than three years, a select group of BFA and MFA candidates have been quietly transforming themselves into a production team, helping grow projects, bridge communication gaps, and develop great stories into great entertainment.

The first-ever Director's Award for Outstanding Performance in a Producer Role was awarded to Shauna Lacoste (MFA '11) and Jonathan Rollins (MFA '12). Next year, a Producing category will be part of the standard Spring Show submissions.
