Video producer Glenn Sweitzer has been named as a Bronze winner in 34th Annual Telly Awards’ Internet/Online Programs, Segments or Promotional Pieces in the Charitable/Not-For-Profit category. Sweitzer garnered the honor for producing a Veterans Day video featuring Brantley Gilbert.

The clip was filmed last November on Veterans Day and highlights Gilbert’s visit to the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System’s Nashville Campus VA Hospital (arranged through one of Musicians On Call’s Bedside Performance Programs). Gilbert spent the morning talking with and performing for hospitalized veterans.

“I am thrilled to win a Telly Award, and I share this honor with Brantley and Musicians On Call,” said Sweitzer. “I believe in Musicians On Call’s mission, and I am always happy to help them however I can. I’d like to dedicate this award to our national heroes – our military veterans.” Sweitzer is also a Musicians On Call Advisory Board member.

Sweitzer has garnered four Telly Bronze Awards and one prestigious Telly Silver Award – all for documentary-style video work composed throughout the past year. The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and honors outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films.
