\"TellyCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. <\/strong>\u2014 The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) announced today that \u201cThe Bluffs” – Season 6 has been named a Bronze Winner in the General-Student category in the 42nd Annual Telly Awards. The Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens and are judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks, production companies and including Netflix, Dow Jones, Duplass Brothers Productions, Complex Networks, A&E Networks, Hearst Media, Nickelodeon, ESPN Films, RYOT, Partizan and Vimeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show is written by communication students during the spring semester. Those scripts are then filmed during the fall semester and the footage is edited in another class the next spring as part of a year-long process. Theater and music composition students also have roles in production. Department of Communication Chair and Professor David Nelson serves as the executive producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving worked in Hollywood, I can attest that this is as \u2018real world\u2019 an experience as our Digital Filmmaking students can get,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cThey work very hard on producing this series and deserve all the credit, along with the fine actors you see up on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sixth season of \u201cThe Bluffs\u201d combines elements of a Western with a Film Noir. The story revolves around a rumor that Butch Cassidy buried gold in Colorado Springs (the bluffs behind the current UCCS campus), in 1899. Two students each have half a map that could lead to the treasure. To watch, visit https:\/\/youtu.be\/8ZIje4LFqsM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Telly Awards announcement caps a year-long celebration of creators defying the limitations by embracing platforms to increase awareness about injustices and promote solidarity for movements, as well as geographical, like developing fully remote pipelines for dispersed teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the face of a year like no other, creators have continued to defy the limitations of our new world, in continuing to create compelling and engaging work,\u201d said Telly Awards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. \u201cThis year\u2019s submissions doubled down on what we already know about the industry. Creativity cannot be stopped. Collaboration will always prevail. New ideas and stories will always find a way to break through to an audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
