One example of the above is the multiple awards winning "MAKING IT! Minority Success Stories", which has received four Emmy awards for best "Informational/Public Affairs Series." The show features the challenges, triumphs, and contributions of minority entrepreneurs.
"MAKING IT!" cameras have taken viewers into more than 1000 businesses created by minority men and women, to hear their personal stories of dreams come true through persistence and hard work. The show is inspiring for those who want to empower themselves and the community through business ownership. We have received the support of dynamic corporations including AT&T, ARCO, Bank of America, Blue Cross, Boeing, The California Lottery, The Gas Company, Hilton Hotels, Honda, Pacific Bell, Sempra Energy, Southern California Edison, Toyota Motor Sales USA, and the Walt Disney Company as sponsors and advertisers.
Another program that reflects the education values of NDTP is "Campus All-Star Challenge," a quiz series fashioned after, and produced in conjunction with, College Bowl. It was created for students of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's). Students have earned more than $5,000,000 in grants for their schools through the program which was broadcast nationally for 6 years. We feel very strongly that intellectual excellence deserves attention equal to that given athletic accomplishments.
NDTP has also produced family specials based on the tradition of oral storytelling. One of these programs, "A Storyteller's Holiday", with Ned Beatty, received an Emmy nomination in 1991.
In the area of non broadcast video, we have created video for Cisco Systems, Sempra Energy, Hyundai Motors and the Walt Disney Company. With video being seen everywhere from your computer screen to the checkout aisle of your supermarket, special videos have become a prime communications tool. We can bring Hollywood production values to your video projects.
