Central Florida Local Garners 16th Emmy® Win

WINTER PARK, Fla. - EntSun -- The Heartland Emmy® Chapter hosted a virtual award ceremony on Saturday, July 25th, to honor the best of the best in the television industry. The film, "Freedom Isn't Free: The Folds of Honor Story," produced by DNA Films (http://www.dnafilmsonline.com/), was nominated in three categories: Director, Editor, and Documentary- Topical, and took home the Emmy® awards for both Editor (Nick Ruff) and Director (Nick Nanton). This win for the film's director, Nick Nanton, marks his 16th Emmy® Award win.

The documentary, "Freedom Isn't Free: The Folds of Honor Story" focuses on the incredible story behind the nonprofit organization, the Folds of Honor foundation and its founder, Lt Col Dan Rooney. It tells Lt Col Dan's story as an Air Force F-16 fighter pilot that returned from his second tour of duty and the pain he saw many families facing when a loved one in uniform is disabled or fallen.  His commitment to honor that sacrifice by educating the legacy of his fellow service men and women led to the creation of the Folds of Honor Foundation to provide educational scholarships to the families of American heroes.
