Comment Hi JC7V7DC5768 do you happen to know what type of Emmy Award it was?

Scope creep Hi, a documentary that Dan Jawitz produced, A Lion's Trail won an Emmy at the 2006 News & Documentary Emmy Awards for "Most Outstanding Cultural and Artistic Achievement". JC7V (talk) 04:38, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve I agree that the article is too promotional in some ways (what relevance did he have, as publicist, to a film being nominated for an award?) But it also leaves out work he has done, including producing films such as Glimpse [1] and One Last Look [2], [3]; directing the Zimbabwe International Film Festival in 1999 [4], and he seems to be described as an "eminent film professional", and certainly as the "stalwart distributor-producer" when he participated in a panel discussion of film finance and distribution in South Africa, 'Big dollars, bad DVDs: finance & distribution' [5]. The sourcing could also be better - one of the "sources" for the Emmy is a "What I'm watching" article by Dan Jawitz! (Could this be better? [6] ) RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:41, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
