“In Prose & Palms” Wins Regional Emmy

The 49th Annual Northern California Area Emmy Awards were presented Saturday evening, June 6th, and we’re thrilled to share the news that “In Prose & Palms,” a short video filmed entirely at The Merwin Conservancy that features our executive director Sonnet Coggins, won the Emmy Award in the “Short Format Program” category.

The filmmakers, Jason Cutinella (Producer), Gerard Elmore (Director), Kyle Kosaki (Director of Photography), and Shaneika Aguilar (Editor), part of the team at Nella Media Group and NMG Network in Honolulu–made the video for Halekulani‘s online and in-room television channel HalekulaniLiving.tv as a way to remember our founder W.S. Merwin, who passed away in March 2019.

Congratulations to all who came together to make this beautiful video work!
