Food Depot,
​DocuFilms Earns Top Honor for Branded Content Long Form

Santa Fe, NM — The Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) has awarded DocuFilms the Emmy® for Branded Content Long Form for their short film “Movement.” This powerful film, which highlights the impactful work of The Food Depot—Northern New Mexico’s food bank—received the honor during the 47th Annual Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards on November 16, 2024, at Chateau Luxe Event Venue in Phoenix, Arizona.

“Movement” invites viewers into the dynamic world of food banking. The Food Depot distributes an average of 10 million pounds of groceries each year through a network of hunger-relief programs and nonprofit partner organizations. The film captures The Food Depot’s food distributions and collaborations between key partners, including Market Street grocery store, Bernal Community Center, and Reunity Resources community farm. Ultimately, viewers are challenged to confront poverty and advocate for systemic change.

"I’m thrilled that DocuFilms chose to emphasize The Food Depot’s movement," says Jill Dixon, Executive Director of The Food Depot. "The film beautifully highlights our programs and hunger-relief partners. This Emmy® is a well-earned recognition for the team who told our story."

DocuFilms founders Michael Campbell and Paul McKittrick began collaborating with The Food Depot in the summer of 2023. In August, their filmmaking team spent a week immersed in day-to-day operations to create the now Emmy® Award-winning film. “Movement” premiered in February 2024 at Violet Crown Cinema in Santa Fe.

“The Food Depot’s story is one the world should hear,” says “Movement” producer Michael Campbell. “The Emmy® recognition validates the importance of this critical organization’s work. I hope the film inspires even more people to join The Food Depot’s mission to end food insecurity.”

The Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) is dedicated to excellence in television by honoring exceptional work through the prestigious Emmy® Award. The chapter serves Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Southeastern California.
