ROA congratulates David Jasse and his DMJ Studios film production company in New York for their several Telly Awards, including our “A Century of Service to America.” David is the owner and creative director at DMJ having a host of experience from various major cable networks.
Honoring excellence in video and television across all screens, the annual Telly Awards recognized in May, the video made for ROA’s centennial, “A Century of Service to America” with a 2023 silver award.
Founded in 1979, the Telly Awards “honor excellence in local, regional and cable television commercials with non-broadcast video and television programming added soon after.”
Jasse and his DMJ Studio team join a distinguished list of past Telly Awards winners to include HBO, ESPN, NBC and Bloomberg.
We also recognize Kalen Arreola and her KMC Digital for their work on the film. Arreola, based in Rhode Island, and an Army Reserve veteran of the Iraq campaign, manages ROA’s communications. “It was my honor to work with such a stellar team at DMJ Studios to tell the ROA story. It is no easy feat to capture the depth and breadth of work that ROA has accomplished over the last 100 years, but I’m proud of what the team captured and produced. Huge congratulations to the producers and editors who thoughtfully captured the heart of the organization.”
This is not the first time a ROA video has been recognized by Telly Awards. In 2012, the Bronze Telly Award was awarded for the video “ROA – Citizen Warrior.”
Now that ROA videos have won the Bronze and Silver Telly Awards, the next ROA video milestone is to take the Gold Telly Award.
