FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Framingham, MA September 9, 2015 - The Telly Awards has named MediaBoss Television as a winner in the 36th Annual People's Telly Awards for their dramedy television pilot titled Partners. In addition to recognition from the Silver Telly Council, the judging panel that selects the Telly Awards winners, the Internet community helps decide the People’s Telly Awards winners. With nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, winning the People’s Choice is truly an honor.

Partners follows the career of a female detective in an all-male police station. The pilot was written by Matty Blake and directed by MediaBoss Creative Director & Producer, Ian Barrett. Blake and Barrett are producing partners under their partnership company, Let the Boy Watch. The pair have worked together on several other comedic pilots and a variety of other productions.

Partners was co-produced and edited by MediaBoss Television. A scripted, ensemble concept, the pilot was captured in Framingham, MA in a single day and featured actors, Jimmy Dunn (The McCarthys), R.J. Kelly (Political Animals), Betsy Beutler (Legit, Scrubs), Dan Schachner (Animal Planet) and Matty Blake (Mystic River, Boardwalk Empire).

"Filming Partners with MediaBoss and this cast was a like a writer/actor version of going to Disney World: Pure joy and magic,” Blake says. “We had so much fun but we also worked our butts off. A group of professionals getting together and playing our trade on our terms. Laughs yes, but we cared, we toiled, we strove. It wasn’t frivolous, it was rewarding. It’s the best kind of fun. It’s why we do what we do. We love the process!"

"It was a very fast paced set. We had a ton of set-ups to get through because we only had our cast for one day,” Barrett says. "Everything came together like magic, in the end we had more material than we could use! I can't say enough about how amazing the experience was."

The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.

MediaBoss Selected Winner in the 36th Telly Awards for Ready, Set, Snow!

Erin Hayes June 25, 2015 Marketing, Creativity, Press, Video, Content Marketing Leave a Comment

This winter we sat down with people behind Framingham's Public Works. They wondered if we could produce a video that showcased their snow clean up and removal operations. Of course!

Although the Public Works story may seem mundane, we were up for the challenge to prove otherwise. A strong DPW is the key to any successful community. And the key to great video is great storytelling. Great storytelling is what MediaBoss does best.

We were honored to tell their story as their dedicated team worked around the clock to keep Framingham's roads safe and clear in the midst of the worst recorded winter in the history of Massachusetts.

And the best part is, we kept our word and we did produce an award-winning video.

Ready, Set, Snow! won a Telly Award for online informational video.

Check out the video below. The full press release follows.

Boston Marathon: 6 Mile Moment 2015

Erin Hayes April 23, 2015 Production, Press, Gallery Leave a Comment

Monday's 119th Boston Marathon could have had better weather. But Framingham's residents didn't seem to notice the less-than-perfect conditions.

Downtown Framingham was packed with excited spectators - gathered together for Framingham's second annual 6 Mile Moment - to cheer on the runners and take part in the event's festivities.

Middlesex Savings Bank partnered with Black Cow Ice Cream to give away free ice cream; there was face painting, free swag and T-shirts galore. Jamin' 94.5 broadcast from Deluxe Depot Diner, where spectators could pop in, warm up, enjoy a Jack's Abby and some of their famous diner fare.

Outside, DJ Haze and the Bloco Afro Brazil band took turns performing for the crowd and spectators, helping to keep atmosphere fun and lively.

Last year MediaBoss partnered with Holli Andrews of Framingham Downtown Renaissance and The Town of Framingham to put on the inaugural 6 Mile Moment. Together, our goal was to create a moment that people could capture and share world-wide. We were beyond pleased to see such a fantastic turn-out in its second year despite the cold weather and rain.

Patriot's Day has always galvanized the people of our state: the date commemorates the beginning of our fight to gain independence from Great Britain; it's a the day of our Boston Marathon when throngs of citizens stop what they are doing to cheer on the incredible athleticism and will-power of the runners that come from around the globe to race through our streets. And now, since 2013, it signifies our refusal to give in to fear and hatred and our commitment to working together for a better future.

We, as residents of Massachusetts, showed this last year and we proved it again this year. The level of coordination between the Town of Framingham, Department of Public Works, Framingham Fire Department, Framingham Police Department, State Police, FBI and Homeland Security was extraordinary. We are incredibly humbled to have the honor of working along side these hard people, incredibly smart people.

We, along with reps from The Town of Framingham and Holli from FDR, worked with the Framingham Police to make this event happen for its residents. It's their first priority to keep the people of Framingham safe and to make them feel safe. We are grateful for their guidance.

We live streamed the race live from the 6 Mile Moment with our favorite new piece of equipment, the BlackMagic ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K. We've produced broadcasts for every type of event from Head of State summits to professional sports to world-wide corporate communications and medical conferences, but we'll be honest: The weather at this year's Boston Marathon made this one of the toughest broadcasts we've done, yet.

We are already looking forward to next year's event and given the excitement of the local businesses, the town and its residents we know 2016's 6 Mile Moment will be even bigger and better!

Special thanks to Holli Andrews for coordinating the sponsorships and the Bloco Afro Brazil band. Thank you to the DJ, Jon Hayes (DJ Haze). Thank you to our sponsors, Middlesex Savings Bank, Consigli Construction, The Deluxe Depot Diner (who provided power and Internet to us for our broadcast) and The Town of Framingham. And of course, thank you to our crew!

MediaBoss to Produce 6 Mile Moment, Live Stream of Boston Marathon

Erin Hayes April 17, 2015 Production, Press Leave a Comment

Framingham, MA –MediaBoss Television, along with Framingham Downtown Renaissance (FDR) and the Town of Framingham, will host the second annual 6 Mile Moment Monday, April 20, 2015 from 9AM till 2PM at the crossroads of Routes 126 and 135 in Downtown Framingham to honor the runners and fans of the Boston Marathon (rain or shine).

The concept of the 6 Mile Moment event sprung from a creative meeting in late 2013 between MediaBoss Television and Holli Andrews of FDR. The group and the Town of Framingham wanted to create an inclusive event for Boston Marathon runners and Framingham’s residents. MediaBoss had live streamed the Boston Marathon for their network in 2012 and 2013 and Creative Director Ian Barrett suggested producing a 6 Mile Moment broadcast from Downtown Framingham.

"The concept was simple, with the advent of all the social media sharing, it occurred to me that we needed to create a 'moment' in Framingham where runners and supporters could have the same experience. I wanted it to be visually clear to the runners that were coming through historic Framingham and I wanted them to remember that moment at the 6 mile. With the high energy music and the live stream the runners and the residents can actually share this moment with their friends anywhere in the world."

MediaBoss will broadcast a 5 camera-switch with their BlackMagic ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K. The multiple angels will provide viewers with a dynamic view of the race, from the runners, the performances, interviews with local businesses and sponsors and more. Model/Actress Rachel Seeker and MediaBoss Executive Producer, Erin Hayes, will host the event. Bloco AfroBrazil and DJ Dr. Haze will headline live, local music.

Watch highlights from last year's inaugural event:

[az_video_embed class="" link="https://vimeo.com/120521003"]

Events include face painting, sign making, dancing, and, of course, cheering! Families, friends and visitors are invited. Framingham State University students will be on hand along with FDR volunteers to carry the day.

Viewers may access live stream coverage of the crossroads at www.6milemoment.com.

Local shops and restaurants will be open and feature specials and deals from Marathon to Mother’s Day. Middlesex Savings Bank will be on hand giving away Black Cow homemade ice cream.

After the runners make their way through Downtown Framingham, parties hosted by Amazing Things Arts Center (160 Hollis Street) and The Tavern (102 Irving Street) will keep festivities going from 2 to 7PM. Cajun music by Squeeze Box Stompers will be featured at Amazing Things from 3 to 5:30, and funk jam band Crushed Vinyl will play at The Tavern from 5 to 7, just a couple blocks away.

Go to the Framingham Downtown Renaissance website to find a parking map –www.fdrms.org/parking.

Sponsored by Middlesex Savings Bank and a music grant from Consigli Construction, the event is a collaborative project between FDR, MediaBoss, the Town of Framingham, local businesses and art groups, to name a few.

Erin Hayes April 07, 2015 Press, Video Leave a Comment

07-April-2015 – FRAMINGHAM, MA – The Web series Tandem Bike Cops produced by Framingham based MediaBoss Television, took home two LA Web Fest awards Saturday in the highly contested, comedy category this weekend. Tandem Bike Cops follows the crime fighting antics of two rookie officers in a police department with no budget, set in a fictitious western Massachusetts town called Boone.

Actor/Comedian/Radio Host, Chris Zito was awarded 'Outstanding Supporting Actor' for his role as Lt. Lou Tenant and Actress/Model Rachel Seeker was awarded 'Outstanding Supporting Actress' for her role as Investigator Rachel Foxxx. Rachel and Chris perform dramatically in a series of very 'over the top' comedy scenes.

"I'm blown away! We had so much fun and everyone was so funny in this cast," Zito said. "Thanks to Ian Barrett and Erin Hayes and everyone at MediaBoss. God Bless the Internet and these United States of America!"

“I'm really proud of the entire cast and the studio, it was a lot of hard work to get Season One of Tandem Bike Cops out,” said MediaBoss Creative Director, Ian Barrett. “We've gotten excellent feedback and next season looks to be even better than we imagined, we are truly fortunate.”

"I could not be happier to be involved with Tandem Bike Cops," said Seeker. "The characters are all unique and that's part of what really makes it work. When you love what you do and it doesn't feel like work, that's when you're doing what you were meant to do! Can't wait to shoot Season Two!"

The initial concept of Tandem Bike Cops was brought to MediaBoss by Funny It Up Productions, a comedy group based in Framingham, MA. MediaBoss expanded the concept and added a supporting cast and guest characters and took over the production of the series.

"I'm really proud of the entire cast and the studio, it was a lot of hard work to get Season One of Tandem Bike Cops out," said MediaBoss Creative Director, Ian Barrett. “We've gotten excellent feedback and next season looks to be even better than we imagined, we are truly fortunate."

Christian Boudreau and Richie Montuori star as the Tandem Bike Cops. The first three episodes of Tandem Bike Cops Season One are available online.
