EMMY AWARD WINS IN CHICAGO FOR FILMMAKER JASON RAJASINGHE AND RAD PRODUCTIONS USA

RAD Productions USA and filmmaker Jason Rajasinghe both won an Emmy this year at the 67th annual Chicago / Midwest Emmys in Chicago this past weekend. The awards honor outstanding achievements in regional media and broadcasting. The Chicago / Midwest Chapter is one of the largest and most senior local chapters in the country, and is chartered by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), based in New York City.

RAD Productions USA received its first Emmy win in the category of Outstanding Achievement for Commercial – Single Spot for Gamber Johnson’s Brand Film, while Jason brought home his first Directing win in the category of Outstanding Crafts Achievement for Directing for the same.

Jason Rajasinghe notes, ‘This category is meaningful to me because Directing is about trust — trust with my team, my Clients, and trusting in what God created me to do. This award is a celebration of that trust and collaboration, and I’m deeply grateful. I’m looking forward to bringing this home to WI, where it’s my mission to use these experiences to help educate the youth and grow the industry.’

RAD Productions USA states, ‘We are thrilled to bring home our first Emmy Award in recognition of our work and the team’s talent. It is an honor to represent Wisconsin and to be recognized amongst the best in the Chicago / Midwest region’.

Darrell Martin, Director of Marketing for Gamber Johnson states, ‘I had a grand vision for how I wanted to share the story of Gamber-Johnson — to showcase who we are to our customers while capturing the raw adrenaline and energy of the industries we serve. I knew that if executed correctly, this commercial would grab the attention of the masses and elevate the GJ brand to the next level. I knew they could bring my vision to life effortlessly — and here we are today, with two Emmy Awards to prove that the vision paid off.’

RAD Productions will be heading into production for a documentary series in December, anticipated for international release.
