Director Clay Weiner and writer, actor John Roberts are the minds and talent behind MAKE MOM PROUD. Last year Weiner and Roberts were MySpace/MyEmmy Scholarship Winners for their short, THE CHRISTMAS TREE. Though they did not take home an Emmy last year, that video introduced the National Academy and our Blue Ribbon Panel Judges to "Mom" and the talented duo, whose simple production techniques, minimal crew and enormous web following are proof that the "new" Tube is just as relevant as the old one. We defy you to watch THE CHRISTMAS TREE and not laugh or sympathize or both. Weiner and Roberts' videos are frequently highlighted on YouTube. In fact, their short, THE PHONE CALL was selected to the Top Spot on the broadband broadcasting giant's main page.
