Alaska Dreams (aka. Leaving Alaska) won two Emmy's, one for editing and the other for a TV special focusing on education from NATAS, Pacific South West Chapter.

"Alaska Dreams" won two Emmy's, one for editing and the other for a TV special focusing on education from NATAS, Pacific South West Chapter! Congratulations Michael Warner, from Pacif ic Sun Productions! Well deserved! This is an inspirational story of 12 Alaskan students and their teachers from deep in the Alaskan Bush, who leave their native homeland for the first time. The academic field trip to Southern California is an eye opening adventure, and a dream come true for the students, who worked for three years to raise the money needed to make the trip. This trailer was produced by Pacific Sun Productions, and directed by Michael Warner to help raise funds for the feature length documentary following this incredible journey.

I have to say, I'm not at all surprised that Alaska Dreams received this wonderful recognition, based on my own experience working with you. Everything you have done for us has been so, so good -- great shooting, great editing, always within budget and on schedule. Thanks again for you hard work. -- Elizabeth @ Serbin Communications

  7. Congratulation Michael

    This is well deserved. Your vision was great, but greater still was the endurance and courage to pull it off. Lots of people have vision, very few bring make that vision a reality. But you did. And you did with style and wonderful creativity. You took a very compelling story and brought it to life. So again, congratulation and thank you for a job well done.
