Creating Fashion with Laurel, televised by PhillyCAM.org, wins a 2022 Hometown Media Award

The Alliance for Community held their annual Awards Celebration the evening of Wednesday, June 28, at the BRIC ARTS MEDIA building in Brooklyn, New York.

Andrew comments: My mother and I are perpetually immersed in our own creative pursuits. Creating Fashion with Laurel started when our interests overlapped. Thinking I was going to pursue animation, I’d taken a course at PhillyCAM on audio recording. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for the video editing workshop and fell completely in love with editing video. Realizing I’d need my own material to edit, I took the field production course and started following my artist buddies around with my camera.

Then the pandemic hit and I got stuck. Like many videographers at that time, I turned the camera toward my family. My mother was mass-producing masks with local fashion professionals for Philadelphia’s medical community and that became our first episode. We make such a great team that we kept on going. We’re currently working on our seventeenth episode. Thank you PhillyCAM for giving us this wonderful opportunity  [to produce a TV show].
Seven PhillyCAM producers’ shows earned awards.
