Left for Dead wins Telly Award
The Telly Awards, unlike most competitions, reward projects based on a high standard of excellence and we are very pleased to be recognized by this esteemed organization. Rather than enter the competition under more singular categories, like videography, or lighting or editing, I decided to enter the broader category of Social Issues. Winning under this category meant that all the elements worked together to meet the exacting standards of the judging committee.

THE CHARACTERS: (based on real people)

Samantha - Alina Raulinaitis
Sam's a sweet, playful young girl of 13. She is the central focus of the film and portrays a full range of emotions, from a silly show-off to an introverted recluse with suicidal tendencies... oh and she has to kiss a boy!
Kevin - Adam Niec
Kevin is Sam's friend, who's been watching both Sam and her father go downhill for a while. Like many young people he's trying to be cool by smoking, but never really gets a puff of smoke out because Sam stops him. Kevin is 13, and oh, he had to kiss Samantha.
Brad - Tyler Hadbavny
Sam's older brother is between 15 and 17, and has just sort of shut everything out. He spends much of his time with his friends and avoids the eventuality of his father's death. His anger about what's happening is one of the things that pushes Sam over the edge.
Judy - Dawn Lafferty
The wife and mother is often the only one holding everything together and Judy is always visibly drained from the effort. She believes in hope, but sometimes crumbles under the strain.
Ted - David Kozinski
Diagnosed with cancer a year earlier, Ted's condition has gradually taken his health and his looks. He is a handsome man in his late 30's but the disease has taken it's toll and by the end of the film it takes his life.
