At the 59th Annual Gabriel Awards, held during the Catholic Media Conference in Phoenix, the Catholic Media Association presented its first-ever Voice of Gabriel Award to director, writer and producer Sean McNamara. The new honor celebrates professionals in film, broadcast and digital media whose work exemplifies leadership that fosters community and understanding, creative excellence that challenges and inspires, a steadfast commitment to dignity, justice and compassion, and media that elevates the human spirit.

“I’m deeply humbled to be honored with the first-ever Voice of Gabriel Award. My work spans all faiths and cultures, so this award is extra-poignant to me, as it recognizes my latest film ‘Bau, Artist at War,’ which chronicles the love story of Holocaust survivors Joseph and Rebecca Bau,” said McNamara.

Rob DeFrancesco, executive director of the Catholic Media Association: “Sean McNamara has spent his career telling stories that move hearts, lift spirits and bring light to the human experience. His work consistently reflects the values we hold dear: dignity, courage, compassion and faith. We’re honored to recognize him as the first-ever recipient of the Voice of Gabriel Award.”

The award recognizes a body of work spanning more than 45 feature films and 500 episodes of television, including:

Soul Surfer, Spare Parts, The Miracle Season and Reagan
Bau, Artist at War, the Paramount release starring Emile Hirsch and Inbar Lavi, and Soul on Fire, Sony AFFIRM’s biopic of motivational speaker John O’Leary starring William H. Macy and John Corbett

McNamara is a BAFTA winner and five-time Emmy nominee whose work has appeared on Netflix, Disney Channel, Hulu and CBS, with additional honors from the DGA, the Imagen Awards and film festivals worldwide. Read the full announcement at JNS.
