Two time Emmy Award winnner

Rhythm in the Rope won the Emmy for Best Sports Documentary last night. That makes two. Amazingly enough, Brian Keane didn’t win the Oustanding Music/Direction/Lyrics Emmy (he ALWAYS wins or at least shares the award with someone - it happened at the 26th Awards)

Rhythm in the Rope: This new documentary video by Johnson McKelvy originally aired on ESPN-2 on June 9th, 2005. Rhythm in the Rope movingly conveys the impact the sport has had on many inner-city children since its inception. Following teams from Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, South Carolina, and Japan as they prepare for the 2004 Double Dutch Holiday Classic at the Apollo Theater in New York City, McKelvy captures the struggles, hopes, and triumphs in their lives, and the true spirit of the sport. Wonderful and revealing insight into the dedication of coaches, young team members, parents, and the National Double Dutch League. Includes scenes from the 13th Annual Holiday Classic not available elsewhere.

When composing for the project, Brian thought it had the chance to win the award. I’m kinda surprised that the Women’s Soccer documentary didn’t win, but oh well.
