I.A.T.S.E. LOCAL 477 CONGRATULATES CAROL BAYNE KELLEY ON EMMY NOMINATION

Updated On: Jul 23, 2010 (15:16:00)

ORLANDO, Fla. – (July 21, 2010) - I.A.T.S.E. Local 477 is proud to announce Carol Bayne Kelley’s recent Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction for a Single Camera Series.  The Emmy nomination is for her work as Set Decorator on the television series LOST.

Carol started her career in Florida before relocating to Los Angeles, where she became a proud member of Local 44.  Despite the move, Carol maintained her Local 477 membership and close ties to the community her friends and family still call home. 

“This nomination represents years of collaboration with talented professionals in our industry – starting right here in Central Florida,” Carol said.  “I owe a special thanks to those who helped shape my early career, and look forward to future projects that will allow our paths to cross again.” 

The 62nd Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be presented on August 21, 2010.  As the countdown to the ceremony begins, Local 477 offers a special congratulation to Carol for this recognition of her talent, hard work, and dedication to the craft.  Best of luck on a win!
