Nick Nanton, award-wining producer and director, along with Amardeep Kaleka recently received an Emmy® Award for their work directing inspirational short film “Jacob’s Turn.”

Orlando, FL – August 2, 2011 – Nick Nanton, Esq., Orlando Entertainment Lawyer and Founder and CEO of The Dicks and Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency®, a Personal Branding Media, Marketing and PR firm, was recently honored to receive an Emmy® Award for his passionate work as one of the Directors of the inspirational short film documentary, “Jacob’s Turn.” Nick and Co-Director Amardeep Kaleka accepted the award in the Director – Short Form category at The Emmy® Ceremony held on July 30, 2011.

Jacob’s Turn is a mother’s story of Jacob Titus, her four-year-old boy from the small rural community of Floyds Knobs, Indiana.  Jacob loves to play T-ball, like thousands of kids across the country. Jacob also happens to have Down Syndrome.  The film shows how Jacob’s “turn” at bat and on the field was a thrill for him, but more importantly, an event that transformed the hearts of everyone in his town. The script for the short film is based on Patricia Titus’ essay she wrote and submitted to the local newspaper. Based out of, and produced in, the Ohio Valley region, “Jacob’s Turn” also received a nomination in the Human Interest – News category.

As Executive Producer, Nick Nanton worked with his extended network of marketing experts to create awareness of “Jacob’s Turn,” through a method of marketing that is usually applied to commercial ventures, but for the first time was used to launch a charitable campaign – one which will help benefit children not only with Down Syndrome but a wide variety of special needs. The goal of everyone with an emotional and financial investment in the film is to raise people’s awareness and generate charitable donations that will help these kids receive the assistance they need to lead the best lives they can—to get their “turn.”

The film was produced with the help of Marketers For Good (MFG). Drawing upon the expertise of the top international marketing minds of our time, MFG is a not for profit organization dedicated to creating unique launch campaigns to raise money and awareness for charitable causes. Utilizing cutting edge marketing strategies, MFG brings together top marketing and business minds in order to encourage and lift up those in need.

Others contributing to the project are Nanton’s partners, JW Dicks and Lindsay Dicks, along with Mike Koenigs, Preston Ely, Baeth Davis, Mark Richter, Bill Gough, Richard Seppala, Dr. Scott Schumann, Darrin Mish and Jared Bonshire.

Small Business Coach, Chuck Boyce, helps launch “Jacob’s Turn,” an inspiring documentary produced to help raise awareness and donations for Down syndrome charities.

Wilmington, Del. – October 4, 2010 – Chuck Boyce, the executive business coach known as “The Independent Executive,” as part of Marketers For Good™, recently helped to launch “Jacob’s Turn,” an inspiring documentary about a 4 year-old boy with Down Syndrome, his family, T-ball team and community.  Chuck along with an extended network of marketing experts participated in the promoting of this film with the goal of raising people’s awareness and generate charitable donations that will help kids with Down Syndrome receive the assistance they need to lead the best lives they can.

The documentary short film, “Jacob’s Turn,” produced by Nick Nanton, Esq. and JW Dicks, Esq., is a mother’s story of Jacob Titus, her four-year-old boy from the small rural community of Floyds Knobs, Indiana – just outside of Louisville.  Jacob loves to play T-ball, like thousands of kids across the country. Jacob also happens to have Down syndrome.  The film shows how Jacob’s “turn” at bat and on the field was a thrill for him, but more importantly, an event that transformed the hearts of everyone in his town.

“I was extremely honored to participate in the launch of the campaign for Jacob’s Turn. Watching the project evolve from the sidelines cemented my commitment to share this with as many people as possible,” remarked Chuck Boyce.  “Too often we get caught up in the day to day struggles of running, growing and marketing our businesses that we can lose sight of what really matters. This is an awesome example of how a small group of people can have a huge impact by using their skills to raise awareness on a very real, personal level.”
“Nick Nanton and the team he assembled to get this project off of the ground are to be commended for having the determination to take massive action and using the power of their influence to make such a meaningful impact for Jacob, his family and neighbors in Floyds Knobs,” continued Boyce.

Nick Nanton, Esq. and JW Dicks, Esq., personal branding experts and Co-Founders of Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency, will act as executive producers of upcoming inspiring documentary, “Jacob’s Turn.”

Orlando, Fla. – August 30, 2010 – Co-founders of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling authors, Nick Nanton, Esq., Celebrity Agent and JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, are announcing the development of a new heartwarming documentary, “Jacob’s Turn.”  JW Dicks and Nick Nanton will act as executive producers of the film.

The documentary short film, Jacob’s Turn, is a mother’s story of Jacob Titus, her four-year-old boy from the small rural community of Floyds Knobs, Indiana – just outside of Louisville.  Jacob loves to play T-ball, like thousands of kids across the country. Jacob also happens to have Down Syndrome.  The film shows how Jacob’s “turn” at bat and on the field was a thrill for him, but more importantly, an event that transformed the hearts of everyone in his town.

Jacob’s mother wrote an article about his experience – and the way the town came to embrace his triumph.  This article would soon stop the busy, constantly on-the-go Nick Nanton in his tracks, touch his heart and those of numerous high profile business people, and inspire him to executive produce the extraordinary documentary short film based on Patricia’s story.

Nanton is currently working with his extended network of marketing experts to create awareness of “Jacob’s Turn,” through a method of marketing that is usually applied to commercial ventures, but for the first time will be used to launch a charitable campaign – one which he will help benefit children not only with Down Syndrome but a wide variety of special needs. The goal of everyone with an emotional and financial investment in the film is to raise people’s awareness and generate charitable donations that will help these kids receive the assistance they need to lead the best lives they can.

At its heart, however, “Jacob’s Turn” is designed to inspire – to let special needs children and their parents know that the unique challenges they face need not limit the potential to achieve dreams, even small ones that start out on a baseball field in a place like Floyds Knobs.

The seven minute film is now in the hands of top video product and marketing experts, including Mike Koenigs of “Traffic Geyser” and “MainStreet Marketing” fame, and “Big Jason” Henderson, one of the top product launch specialists in the country. The campaign to share “Jacob’s Turn” with the world will begin with an email campaign to literally millions of people, and a push through YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media portals of teaser clips – which will ultimately lead to the unveiling of the whole seven-minute film.

Others contributing to the project are Nanton’s partners, JW Dicks & Lindsay Dicks, along with Mike Koenigs, Preston Ely, Baeth Davis, Mark Richter, Bill Gough, Richard Seppala, Dr. Scott Schumann, Darrin Mish and Jared Bonshire.

“Our hope is to help as many kids with special needs as possible,” Nanton says. “I’m optimistic because it was pure serendipity which led me to Jacob’s world in the first place and I feel that we’re all walking through a series of amazing doors that continue to open. Whether this film reaches the millions of people we hope it will reach and raises awareness and money on the scope we intend remains to be seen. It could be a huge success, or simply be known as a great story that touches the hearts of viewers, making them reflect for a moment. For now, we’re simply thrilled that the story turned out so well. It’s exciting to be able to make a difference and to share Jacob’s wonderful story.”
