Honored by the 2025 Communicator Awards!

I'm proud to share that my work on AMSEL: ILLUSTRATOR OF THE LOST ART has received a 2025 Communicator Award for Excellence, in the category of Social Content Series for Arts, Culture & Entertainment.

 While the documentary itself is still in progress, it’s wonderful to have some of the hard work done so far get recognized. This includes our teaser trailer, our ongoing news reporting on www.richardamselmovie.com, and the small excerpts from the rough cut we’ve made available to the public.

Excellence and Distinction Award recipients named across industries and borders

New York, NY (May 6, 2025) — The Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA) is proud to announce the Honorees for The 31st Annual Communicator Awards.

With thousands of entries received from across the United States and around the globe, The Communicator Awards remains one of the largest and most competitive programs honoring excellence in marketing, communication and creative work.

This year’s Award of Excellence recipients — representing the highest honor of the competition — include standouts such as Netflix, NASA+, Oliver Wyman, George P. Johnson Experience Marketing, Getty Museum, Apple, PepsiCo, McKesson, Savannah College of Art and Design, The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, Zeta Global, Bank of America and many others.

“In a year where our theme was ‘Communication is Connection,’ it was moving to see how this idea came to life in the work,” said AIVA Managing Director Lauren Angeloni. “Whether centered around emotionally resonant storytelling or Marketing Effectiveness case studies, the entries reflected the power of communication to bridge gaps between people, platforms, and perspectives. We’re proud to celebrate such a dynamic group of Honorees. And we’re deeply grateful to our Jurors, who, as always, brought care, curiosity and deep insight to every review.”
