Unveil Studios, the award-winning film production studio owned by the Kooman brothers, took home two prizes at this year’s Crown Awards on Saturday, July 15.

• Best Music Video for “Heal Me”
• New Filmmakers Award

The awards were handed out at a live ceremony that the Kooman brothers attended in Nashville, Tennessee at the annual International Christian Visual Media film and media conference. 

“Heal Me” was filmed in London, Ontario and features three inspirational stories and soaring drone shots.  The music video is the lead single from recording artist Elizabeth Smith’s new album Hope that was released in June 2018.

The brothers, who wrote and directed the Alberta-made film She Has A Name, were also recognized for excellence and promise in filmmaking with the New Filmmakers Award. The award is selected by film and media associates and includes a $1000 cash prize sponsored by the Kendrick Brothers whose most recent box office success War Room earned more than $70 million at the box office.
