Zak gets half-naked for the 2009 Orlando Addy Awards

This year’s Orlando Addy Awards were presented at the Shakespeare Theater with a Shakespearean theme and in keeping with that theme Treefrog Cinegrafix, Inc. produced videos with Shakespeare’s characters parodying our delightful biz. This video was filmed here at SunSpots Productions Florida studios and even stars the studio manager, Zak Miller. The “engineer” was filmed in Xavier’s studio and Zak was in one of our six voice booths.
Notice the Christmas tree branch on his head. We couldn’t find any olive branches for his ceremonial garb. Hail Zakus!
