Industrial Film Awards

Jack Upham '53, Staff Creative Consultant for The Chartmakers, Inc. of New York, and General Supervisor for the Sales-makers Division creative services, was the recipient in October of four major awards for excellence in industrial films, at the Sixth Annual International Film and TV Festival of New York.

The awards were presented in the four categories of Public Relations, Sales Training, Employee Training, and Sales Presentation. They were produced for W.R. Grace and Co., Allied Stores, Inc., United States Steel Corp., and the Shell Oil Company. The Chartmakers had submitted an entry in each category, each written and directed by Mr. Upham.

Upham graduated from Dartmouth in 1957, after returning from four years of military service with the United States Navy. During his nine-year rise in the field of industrial presentations, he has become recognized within the industry as a leading consultant, writer and director for all forms of business communication. In 1965 his films won three major awards at the American Film Festival. Since 1961 he has also been accorded eight similar awards at the National Visual Presentation Association's annual competitions.
