FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Phoenix, AZ - August 27, 2008

Next Edge Video, an Arizona-based video company specializing in advanced Internet video production and a newcomer on the multimedia scene, was honored last night with a 2008 Emmy® Award nomination given by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).

Andrew Beneze, Next Edge Video’s founder and Executive Producer received the nomination for Advanced Media – Excellence in Photography/Videography. The nomination was given for a portfolio of work spotlighting multi-million dollar Arizona estates and luxury communities; Next Edge Video’s niche market.

“This nomination is particularly meaningful because Next Edge Video is a relatively new company,” says founder Andrew Beneze. “We believed in this idea and we had great people who believed in us. We’ve worked a lot of long days and nights and to be recognized with an Emmy nomination is truly an honor.”

Next Edge Video has quickly gained a name for itself in Arizona’s luxury home market by putting a fresh spin on the way multi-million dollar properties are marketed. Using high-definition fully produced, written and narrated stories, high-end homes are presented as mini-movies to potential buyers. What began as a simple idea to add life to the traditional real estate virtual tour turned into the company’s primary focus when realtors embraced the idea, sellers praised the productions and buyers found a way to get a truly inside look at luxury homes without leaving the comfort of their computers.

The properties in Next Edge Video’s Emmy nominated portfolio included a profile of Scottsdale Waterfront Residences for Realty Executives International – Marv & Karen Leff and a profile of a $10 Million, Scottsdale, Arizona mansion in the prestigious community of Silverleaf at DC Ranch by renowned Luxury homebuilder Calvis Wyant.
