Sockville Wins Award!
Sockville was awarded BEST CHILDREN’S FILM at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. The event, sponsored by Cinema St. Louis, hosted a week of St. Louis based film productions – from shorts to full-length features. This is Sockville’s first award since its release last December. The children’s fun and educational show will be featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival this November as part of a special children’s film festival. Sockville producers James Gregson and Patrick Voss are thrilled with the award. They are currently in preproduction of the Sockville series – 13 episodes of the puppet-based show. They will be putting their own twist on educating through fun with the help of professional educators, including environmental and recycling professionals guidance.
