Jack DeNick '27, Nicholas Polisi '26, Cameron Strong '26, all Television and Digital Media Production students, attended the largest broadcast convention in the industry in Los Vegas, NV thanks to the Park School's Special Opportunities for Students funding (SOS).⁠
⁠
During the conference, they connected with numerous alumni and industry professional networks through scheduled catch-ups and casual networking. The team engaged with key vendors, including Sony, Vizrt, AEQ, and Zero Density, alongside the Park School's Chrissy Guest, Nigel Martin, and Christin deBrigard. ⁠
⁠
They also met with representatives of products currently utilized in the Park, discussing future feature enhancements and exploring optimized workflows to improve existing setups. Nick also collected his Broadcasting Education Association award for the 2025 ICTV Holiday Special.⁠
⁠
A highlight of the trip was an exclusive, private tour of the Sphere, arranged through an alumni connection, and a viewing of The Wizard of Oz the following day. ⁠

The Golden Doorknob Awards will be returning during the 2026-27 academic year as an annual competition thanks to a generous contribution by Dan Heffner '78, Executive Producer of the SAW franchise.

The Golden Doorknob competition was started in 1969 by Ithaca College professor emeritus of cinema and photography Gustav "Skip" Landen. All film students had the same assignment: make a very short film that presents the most imaginative way to kill someone with a doorknob.

Now it is YOUR TURN to make a Golden Doorknob film to enter into contest for the opportunity to win cash prizes and a golden doorknob trophy. Submissions are judged by a panel of professionals.

The competition theme has been expanded so that the “death by doorknob” concept may go beyond physical death–it may be the end of a relationship, an emotion, an institution, or a time in history–anything that can come to an end.

Submissions are due on Monday, March 29, 2027 5pm EDT (stay tuned for details and entry form this fall!)

The screening, red carpet, and awards event will be on Friday, April 16, 2027

1st Place $1,000
2nd Place $750
3rd Place $500

Start working on those brilliant concepts now!
