before Much even airs it!

TORONTO – June 15 2010 - A Music Video produced by Between Worlds Entertainment and Directed by Daisy MacLean has been awarded A Silver Telly Award, the highest honour in the Music Video Category, and A Bronze Outstanding Achievement in The People's Telly Awards Presented by YouTube®. The music video was for the song 'Vanity Magazine' by all-girl punk band, Fidget, which was produced over a period of three days by Daisy MacLean and Jessica Carter, and shot by nationally award winning cinematographer Steven Chandler-Whitehead, with Art Direction by Maggy Monceaux and costumes by renowned designer Christine Holdham.

“It is a tremendous honour to have our work recognised by such a prestigious award. I had an outstanding team whose skilled contributions shine in every aspect of the production. To have our work recognised along side industry giants such as HBO, NBC, Microsoft and Universal is very thrilling. We are delighted for our team and the band, Fidget.” –Daisy MacLean, CEO of Between Worlds Entertainment and Director of “Vanity Magazine”

The video was released online in November 2009, but was held back from being delivered to broadcasters until the band could release the single on itunes, a goal that was delayed due to some controversy with a distributer over the single’s artwork. The band plans to deliver the music video later this month to Much Music in Canada, as well as other prime American and British music broadcasters.
