Visionalist Entertainment Productions Receives Four Michigan Emmy Awards for “OUR STORY OF” Series

WIXOM, Mich., June 10, 2008 – Visionalist Entertainment Productions – the multi media company managed by chef, cookbook author and television producer Keith Famie and co-creator Chris Kassel – received four Michigan Emmy awards for the locally produced documentary series, "Our Story Of,” about Detroit immigrants of various ethnic backgrounds.

The 30th annual Michigan Emmy Awards, presented by the Michigan Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, was held June 7 at the Gem Theatre in Detroit.

Famie won in the Director – Post-Production category for Our Polish Story; the Societal Concerns – Program/Special category for Our Arab American Story; and Human Interest – Program/Special and Documentary – Cultural categories for Our Greek Story.

Southfield, Mich.-based Kinetic Post Production has worked on each of the „Our Story Of‟ films. “We are thrilled that these documentary features are so well received,” said Famie. “The tributes we pay to our elders and immigrants of Detroit in this series is so gratifying it‟s hard to put into words. I am so proud to say I am from Detroit, one of America‟s most ethnic rich communities.”

Co-executive producers of the “Our Story Of” series, Toni Wisne-Sabina and Steve Sabina, have been supporting Visionalist Entertainment Productions financially since the beginning. Their passion for Detroit and its rich, diverse, ethnic communities is reflected by their desire to see these stories told by the elders that helped pave the way for future generations. Their intrepid support is instrumental for the airing of the “Our Story Of” series on WXYZ-TV 7 and the hosting of the premier screening events, titled Flavors Of. They have extended this passion for the human-interest style docufilms by helping Visionalist Entertainment embark on future programs.
