WE GOT AN EMMY NOMINATION 😱
This was easily the toughest project I’ve ever worked on.
Any of us who’ve ever spent some time in a COVID bubble know that it’s hard. So, adding the riots and the fact that I actually did get COVID into the mix, just made it so much more complex.…
We’ve been nominated for an INTERNATIONAL EMMY! With

doing this protects the standard of refereeing. Players at all levels take their cue from what they see pro’s get away with.
