On behalf of CableU and CABLEready, we are proud to announce that AMP Productions has won the second annual Emerging Producers Contest at the Opportunity Knocks: Answer with the Perfect Pitch session at NATPE 2010.  With their fun, upbeat, and well-produced demo for LONE STAR OPERA, and a truly exceptional oral pitch, Amy Lou Abernathy, Sandy Abernathy, and Russ Johnson most definitely deserved the title and recognition.

AMP Production full-serviced production facility is based out of Dallas, Texas.   From their partnership with their first major corporate client, Kinko’s (now FedEx Office), AMP has been producing a variety of internal communications programs, from training videos to monthly video newsletters for executive teams, as well as external marketing videos.  In addition to corporate work, AMP continued to develop their “camera and crew” provision service for national television networks and production company clients from around the country.  In 2004, AMP began developing episodic television programming for the HD network, Veria.  Series include SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, EMPTY NESTERS, WHAT’S BREWING, and WHATTA YA THINK?

We congratulate AMP Productions on winning the competition, and Barbara Shearer’s Pink Slip Productions (THE AGENCY) and Brian Gee and Mark Combellick’s Brown Dog Media (VICIOUS CIRCLE) for making it an incredibly close competition and extremely fun and interesting panel!  Stay tuned for this summer’s announcement about next year’s contest.
