Hamilton Watch Hosts 6th Behind The Camera Awards
Tuesday - 23 October 2012
Hamilton will honour the "talented off-screen heroes" of filmmaking at the 6th annual Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards.
The Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards were created to celebrate the talent behind the scenes on a film set. "A costume, a prop or a poignant phrase in the movie script, or a camera capturing the right move, are all key factors contributing to the overall success of a movie," the brand says. The 2012 awards ceremony will be held on October 28th in Los Angeles, in collaboration with luxury lifestyle publication 'Los Angeles Confidential'.
