Local Filmmakers Win Prestigious CINE Golden Eagle Award

Monterey, California: Mac And Ava Motion Pictures is pleased to announce that My Name is Belle, a film directed by Terri DeBono and photographed and edited by Steve Rosen has won a prestigious CINE Golden Eagle Award. The CINE Golden Eagle awards, distinguishing excellence in professional and amateur works, are recognized internationally as symbols of the highest production standards in filmmaking and videography. Since its founding in 1957, CINE has been dedicated to discovering, rewarding, educating, and supporting established and emerging talent in film and video. Among great talents whose first major awards included the CINE Golden Eagle are Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard, and such great documentarians as Ken Burns, Charles Guggenheim and Albert Maysles.

In the Spring 2007 Competition, over 300 judges viewed and evaluated hundreds of distinguished entries. Experienced professionals in the field of film and video judge the entries, evaluating such criteria as writing, sound, editing, creativity, visuals, and insights.

My Name Is Belle is a poignant story of immigration told through the voice of a child and the eyes of an artist revealing the struggles of becoming an American citizen Òwhen you are not born hereÓ. The stunning photography re-enforces the beauty of her drawings and uncovers multi layers of Belle YangÕs story.

My Name Is Belle is currently being distributed to Public Television stations across the nation by NETA. Check your local listings or call your favorite PBS station for information.
