Mound City Films contracts with Loma Linda University Health’s Department of Advancement Films to produce the show Life on the Line. The team has previously received a total of 13 regional Emmys, one of which was for Life on the Line. Project coordinator Keturah Reed said episodes or a season of the show have been nominated this year in the following categories:
It’s About the Journey: Sports – Daily or Weekly Program or Special; San Bernardino Strong: Documentary; Show Open: Graphic Arts – Graphics; San Bernardino Strong: Director: Non-Live (Post Produced); Season 3: Editor – Program (Non-news); Show Open: Editor – Short Form; Season 3: Photographer – Program (Non-news)
Cosmin Cosma, MA, producer, said Mound City Films specializes in story-driven content that reflects the resilience and positive nature of humankind.
“Our team is excited to be nominated again this year after last year’s first Emmy Award win for Life on the Line,” Cosma said. “It is truly an honor to have the stories we tell from Loma Linda University Health recognized and valued by the members of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.”
Cosma and Reed are named in the Emmy nominations along with their colleagues Michael Wolcott, Erik Edstrom and Patricia Kelikani.
Garrett Caldwell, DMin, executive director of public affairs at Loma Linda University Health, said the Emmy nominations underscore the film team’s combination of well-honed technical skills and artistry in the craft of storytelling.
“It is obvious to me that the team cares deeply for the human subjects of their films, so much that I believe these stories are not just an account of those individuals’ healing, but a critical component of their journey to wholeness,” Caldwell said.
