On November 14th, UNDER OUR SKIN received two prestigious awards at the annual Freddie Awards, sponsored by the International Health and Medical Media Awards and considered to be the “Oscars of health care films.” At the black-tie event in Philadelphia’s historic Crystal Tea Room, film Producer/Director Andy Abrahams Wilson accepted the award for Best Production in the category of Infectious Diseases.
In his acceptance speech, he noted the importance of this validation by the medical establishment, and thanked the judges for helping raise the visibility of chronic Lyme disease. Former CNN health reporter and author Daryn Kagan, the event MC, also presented UNDER OUR SKIN with one of the top overall awards, the Robert E. Wise Award for Outstanding Cinematography, chosen from all the 32 category winners.
