Co-producer Cody Brotter (COM ’13) added, “It’s incredibly humbling and a real honor for a comedy and a show in its first year on the channel. It’s testament to the efforts of our devoted production and writing staff and all of the support we’ve received from butv10."
Past butv10 Telly Winners include On That Point, (2011, 2008), Inside Boston (2010), and Bay State (2009).
“Everyone at butv10 is excited especially the Brotter crew and they should be,” said Prof. Christophor Cavalieri, butv10’s faculty advisor. “That four different productions have received Telly recognition five years in a row reflects the dedication of the entire organization.
