2013 duPont-Columbia University Awards Announcement from Alfred I. duPont Awards on Vimeo.

We are absolutely thrilled that BULLY will be honored with the Stanley Kramer Award at the Producer’s Guild Awards this January.

The Stanley Kramer Award was established in 2002 to honor a production, producer or other individual whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues. Stanley Kramer created some of the most powerful and acclaimed works in the history of American motion pictures, including such classics as INHERIT THE WIND, ON THE BEACH, THE DEFIANT ONES, and GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER.

Previous recipients of the Stanley Kramer Award include such films as THE GREAT DEBATERS, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, HOTEL RWANDA, IN AMERICA, ANTWONE FISHER, PRECIOUS and the 2012 honoree IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY.

“BULLY is an enlightening and inspiring film that brought much needed attention to a cause that just about everyone can relate to at one point or another in their life,” said 2013 PGA Awards Chair Michael De Luca. “It’s a film that I believe Stanley Kramer himself would applaud and we’re thrilled to recognize it with this honor.”

Cynthia will be appearing on Book TV’s program After Words to speak about BULLY with Donna Lieberman, anti-bullying advocate and the Executive Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. Find the air times, or download the segment here!
