AWARDS FOR WRITING, PRODUCING, DIRECTING, SINGING & SONGWRITING

Travis Edward Pike honored for his work in the
Entertainment Industry and the Performing Arts
The Southern California Motion Picture Council is a non-profit organization founded in 1936 to promote the best in motion pictures.  The Council encourages production of family oriented films and televison programs; promotes civic-minded, educational and cultural programs of exceptional merit and presents awards for the best in movies, television, stage plays and the performing arts.  Only the “Best of the Best” and stars whose performances deserve special recognition for outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry, are selected for awards.

 
UNPRECEDENTED WIN FOR
STORYTELLER'S EPIC RHYME

 INTERCOM, one of the most diverse and prestigeous media communications events in the world, recognizes the technical and creative energy behind sponsored and independent video productions, and highlights the importance of media arts in communications. 

Each year they assemble panels of distinguished media professionals to judge their competitive categories.  To insure fully qualified appraisals, they select judges familiar with the subject matter and intended audience of each entry.

All aspects of a production's technical execution are evaluated for professionalism, creativity and effectiveness in achieving its goals.  Production budgets are carefully considered; a resourceful use of limited funds is highly valued by our judges.

Entries are judged against others in the same category, but judges may recommend that no award be given in a category if entries do not meet the award criteria.  In the event of a tie, duplicate awards may be presented.
Travis Edward Pike's GRUMPUSS, the World Premiere Benefit Performance, won this SILVER PLAQUE for Special Achievement — Writing in the 1999 International Communications Film & Video Competition in Chicago, Illinois.  It is the only award presented in this category this year and last year, no writing award was presented.  To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time in the 35 year history of the Chicago Film Festival, perhaps in the entire history of motion pictures and video productions, that an epic narrative rhyme has been so honored.
