Ross Wood Snr ACS Judges Award for Best in Show


Joshua Flavell ACS - Pimped

Ross Wood Snr ACS (1916-1980)
Ross Wood was among the early founders of the ACS and was very active in those early years promoting the ACS cause since 1958 which went towards the developments making the ACS the intentionally recognised Society we see today.  His legacy has lived on since he died in 1980 when his wife Mary, formed a trust fund in the form of an annual amount to support the early careers of young cinematographers.

NSW VP Carolyn Constantine thanks both Ray and Ana on our behalf and then is surprised with a bunch of flowers for the mammoth work she put into this years awards night

Sincerely from the NSW Branch and those present on the night.  Huge thanks to Caro and the team

...Fantastic night.
