GPM Wins a Telly!GPM is proud to announce that its short movie entitled “The Promise of Rain” has been selected as a Telly Award Finalist in two categories. The Telly Awards recognize outstanding films and video productions that are created for broadcast outside the network television realm. “The Promise of Rain” is targeted toward policy makers, educators, and the general public and presents the concept of GPM using non-technical language. The eight-minute film begins by asserting the importance of water to life on our planet. It explores how knowledge about precipitation will benefit mankind. Through the perspective of a young girl dressed in a rain slicker, viewers learn about the architecture of GPM, how it will function, and how its information will be used globally.
