“In the face of a year like no other, Rock Harbor Marketing has continued to defy the limitations of our new world in continuing to create compelling and engaging work”, says Telly Awards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “This year’s submissions doubled down on what we already know about the industry. Creativity cannot be stopped. Collaboration will always prevail. New ideas and stories will always find a way to break through to an audience.”

“When the California Cut Flower Commission approved the concept for this film project, we immediately reached out to Alex Raban at Room for Cream Films. Each time we’ve partnered with RFC films on a project, Alex brings a level of creativity and professionalism we’ve personally recognized as “next level.” We’re excited to find his brilliance equally recognized by the judging panel at the Telly Awards”, says Travis Ford, Co-Founder at Rock Harbor Marketing. “Teaming up with the annual Rose Parade, California Cut Flower Farms, and the incredible kids at Cal Poly (SLO & Pomona) to make this film come to life was a rare opportunity we’ll always cherish.”
