Two Southeastern Louisiana University students that worked at the Southeastern Channel have been honored with Emmy awards.
Dylan Domangue of Houma was a winner in the “Non-Fiction- Long Form” category, while John Austin Williams of Denham Springs won for “Director.”
Both have been honored by the Emmys multiple times.
The students and their productions were honored in the Emmy Suncoast Region comprised of television stations and production companies in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Puerto Rico.
Students at the Southeastern Channel have now been named Emmy winners 22 times with 69 nominations.
Domangue’s winning “Non-Fiction – Long Form” entry was his 17-minute personal documentary, “12 Seconds at Birth.” It marked his third Emmy recognition in the past three years. Earlier he won as producer-director of a live Southeastern Channel football broadcast that streamed on ESPN+. He was also nominated in the “Talent” category. “12 Seconds at Birth” documents Domangue’s remarkable journey and triumph in the face of an incurable motor disability.
Williams, who was also honored by the Emmys last year, won for his short film, “The Overthinker.” The entire four-minute film is shot by a single camera in one take as it follows the lead character, played by student Ross Chauvin of Houma, as he walks around the downtown city of Hammond at night, consumed by his thoughts.
