Five recent graduates of TCU College of Communication’s RTVF department have won a Bronze Telly Award for their documentary titled Fort Worth Jazz. The students produced, directed, wrote, shot and edited the film as a final project for their documentary class.

“This is a great honor for our students,” said professor Gregory Mansur, who teaches the class. “The film showcases the absolutely wonderful talents of our students while highlighting the wonderful jazz scene in Fort Worth during the 1960s.”

The film, which received its Bronze Telly award in the student narrative/documentary category, was produced by Paul Garza, Rose Maginot, Eugenia Redondo, Ryan Flanagan, and directed by Chelsea Nollner. The Telly Awards is a national competition that recognizes excellence in video and film productions.
