Sponsored by We Love Soaps and the Indie Series Network, the Indie Soap Awards champion independent scripted, serialized storytelling on the Web. O’Sullivan won for Best Costume Design and Awad won for Best Cinematography. Awad was also nominated for Best Director (Drama).
O’Sullivan leads the Theater Program at the Manassas Campus of Northern Virginia Community College. She is also co-executive producer, creator, writer and costume designer for “Thurston.” Awad is co-executive producer, director, cinematographer and editor for the series.
