"We're very proud to be honored for these local public television productions," noted DeAnne Hamilton, vice president and television station manager at KQED. "It means so much for our producers, writers, directors and other staff to be recognized by their peers for the accomplishments of the past year. Our audiences have shown that, they too, appreciate the hard work that goes into producing public television programs."
Independent View offers viewers an intimate "behind-the-scenes" view of the people -- some household names, some cult heroes, and other emerging, brilliant independent filmmakers -- and the creative process which breathe life into the medium of independent film. The series also aired on public television in several major markets around the country.
And Then One Night: The Making of "Dead Man Walking" is a compelling one-hour documentary that looks at a contemporary American opera while asking viewers to consider the importance and necessity of the death penalty in America. PBS broadcast the documentary nationally last winter.
Bay Window: "Home Front," a co-production of KQED Public Broadcasting and Specific Pictures, looks at the complicated issues brought on by our prosperity, the promises and perils affecting the diverse cultural landscape of the Bay Area and the real and potential effects of unmanaged growth. Bay Window is an award-winning series exploring issues that affect lives in the Bay Area and reflect civic life nationwide.
