ST. LOUIS, Mo., November 4, 2022 –St. Louis video production company, Ryval Studios, was awarded a Mid-America Emmy Award in the short-form branded content category for their video “Her Future, Our Future” in association with Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri (GSEM). Founder and Executive Producer Jon Morgan collaborated with Tennyson Tanner and Jonah Atkins of Marion, IL based production company GuerrillaFilm to produce a poignant video in support of the Girl Scout mission and GSEM’s Her Future is Our Future $50 million dollar Comprehensive Campaign.
“Winning a regional Emmy Award is incredibly humbling,” says Morgan. “When I started Ryval in 2015 out of my two-bedroom apartment, I had no idea where the business would go. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be accepting an Emmy Award seven years later for a video we produced. But this just goes to show that with God, anything is possible.”
Ryval Studios worked closely with Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri to craft a heartwarming story of a Girl Scout’s journey, as she grows, develops her leadership skills, and learns from others. The video showcases the power of the Girl Scout mission, to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
“We are extremely proud of the video and the message it conveys, said Kelly Daleen, Chief Membership and Marketing Officer, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. “We are so grateful to Ryval Studios, GuerrillaFilm and the many Girl Scout girls, volunteers and staff who supported this very important initiative for our organization. This project was a labor of love and will live long into the future, telling the incredible story of what it means to be a Girl Scout and the power of the Girl Scout movement.”
To capture this heartwarming feeling and emotion, Jon Morgan turned to Guerrilla Film who is comprised of the owner, Tennyson Tanner, who serves as Director and DP, and Jonah Atkins as Director and Producer. Tanner and Atkins are experts in cinematic emotional storytelling. Combined they have over three decades of experience telling heartwarming stories through film and were excited about this opportunity to collaborate with Ryval Studios and tell the story of Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.
“When we got the call for Girl Scouts from Ryval Studios, we felt like it would be a great project to express our creativity and tell a touching story of a mother seeing her daughter transform into an accomplished young woman.” says Tanner. “It was an honor to represent our region and come home with a win.”
Ryval Studios is incredibly proud to win their first regional Emmy Award and plans to enter more work into future competitions. Ryval hopes to tell more stories for Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, along with other non-profits in the St. Louis area and beyond.
