Washington, DC, January 27, 2012 –
Maggie Burnette Stogner, of Blue Bear Films, has won a prestigious Award of Excellence for the Best Shorts Competition. The award was given for Maggie Burnette Stogner’s exciting Special Program, Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology Exhibition.
Maggie Burnette Stogner commented that “It’s not every day you get a chance to work with Harrison Ford, and the remarkably gifted people at LucasFilm and National Geographic on a brand new Indiana Jones project. The documentary films we produced, which appear within this new traveling exhibition, meld the fantasy of those inspiring Indiana Jones movies with the exciting world of real life archaeology. Visitors to museums today are no longer interested in viewing isolated artifacts, identified by small object labels in musty rooms. They seek, instead, immersive and highly interactive experiences. The Indiana Jones exhibition is dynamic and experiential, and through its incorporation of multimedia technology, delivers dramatic and compelling storytelling.”
