Rudaitis Media Wins at 2005 Long Island International Film Expo
On Thursday, July 21, the Rudaitis Media documentary Meet Mr. Miracle-Gro won Best Short Film-Video at the 2005 Long Island International Film Expo. Over 300 films were up for consideration and 17 films were selected as the best in their respective categories. Narrated by legendary folk singer Oscar Brand, featuring acclaimed actor James Whitmore, and directed, co-produced, & written by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Rudaitis, this insightful documentary reveals the triumphs, tragedies, and secrets of success of Horace Hagedorn, an advertising executive who went on to become a legend in the Lawn & Garden industry as the founder of Miracle-Gro, the internationally-known lawn & garden product. Meet Mr. Miracle-Gro had its premiere screening last August at Hofstra University's John Cranford Adams playhouse, where it played to a packed house of over 1100 people, and raised over $1.2 million for Sustainable Long Island, a regional non profit that advances the economy, environment and equity for all Long Islanders. The documentary had its broadcast television premiere on December 7, 2004 on WLIW21 New York Public Television. |
