Arek Zasowski Wins Gold Telly Award for Best 3D Animation in Film & Shorts
Zasowski’s winning entry, the sci-fi holiday special Guardians of the Secrets of the Luminara Challenge, was created entirely in Unreal Engine—a cutting-edge 3D design platform where not a single frame was captured using a physical camera. Zasowski not only produced the short film but also crafted every digital environment himself, transporting viewers from a sleek London office into the heart of the mystical Yucatán jungle on a daring quest to uncover the ancient Luminara Temple.
“This Gold Telly is a really special moment in my artistic journey,” said Zasowski. “I’ve poured my heart into learning Unreal Engine, and now I get to share these magical digital worlds I’ve imagined from scratch—jungle vines, waterfalls, temples—everything you see, I built one element at a time.”
Zasowski’s win comes amid a record-breaking year for the Tellys, with over 13,000 global submissions. This year’s winners include major players like Pixar Animation Studios, MTV Entertainment Studios, NASA, LinkedIn, and the LA Clippers, cementing Zasowski’s place among top-tier creative talents.
Telly Awards Managing Director Amanda Needham remarked, “Our industry is innovating at warp speed, especially when it comes to storytelling through new technologies. The Tellys celebrate those bold enough to experiment and break new ground.”
While this is Zasowski’s first Gold Telly, he previously earned three Bronze Telly Awards for his popular late-night talk show Actors by Actors Show, which features candid conversations with creatives from across the film industry.
“I’m truly honored to stand alongside such a powerful roster of this year’s Telly winners,” Zasowski added. “To know that my work resonates—especially in such a competitive year—means the world to me. There’s clearly an audience for bold, immersive storytelling driven by passion and new technology.”
The Telly Awards Judging Council included industry leaders such as Brian Toombs (Roku), Lucy Shen (Patreon), Rosalind Pressman (Pluto TV), James Young (BBDO New York), and Adam Faze (Gymnasium), among others.

Sandra Haynes has released a new novel, "Fate," a romance built around one chance meeting between two people and how that meeting reshapes both of their lives. The book is out now through Newman Springs Publishing and is available at major retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
The story follows two characters whose paths cross unexpectedly, according to the announcement, setting off a relationship neither one saw coming. From there, the book traces how that single encounter ripples outward, testing the couple through what the announcement describes as life’s unpredictable challenges while they try to build something lasting without losing their individual sense of self.
Haynes has described the novel as an attempt to work through some of the bigger questions romance fiction tends to circle back to: what draws two particular people together, how a couple holds together under strain, and what it actually takes to build a life with someone else. "Through writing this story, I wanted to capture the essence of how love transforms us," Haynes said in the announcement. "Every relationship contains its own unique adventure, and I hope readers see their own experiences reflected in these pages."
No detailed author biography accompanied the release, so how "Fate" fits into any earlier work by Haynes isn’t clear from the material provided. The premise — a single fateful encounter reshaping two lives — sits within a long tradition in romance fiction of chance-meeting narratives, a structure readers of the genre will likely recognize.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the interesting question with a book like this isn’t the plot, which follows a familiar romance template, but whether Haynes’s take on "transformation through connection" gives readers something more specific than the setup promises.

Theresa A. Bandaccari-Stephens has published a new novel, "Uncharted Life," a 310-page work centered on Daniel Carlson, a bestselling author whose career takes off just as his family collapses. According to the announcement, Daniel’s father is set to stand trial for murder, in a case tied to the death of Daniel’s mother and an attack that also targeted Daniel himself.
The book follows Daniel as he tries to rebuild after losing what the announcement describes as his greatest source of support, while also confronting his feelings for Lisa, a childhood friend who stayed close to him despite what the author describes as his neglect. The publisher frames the novel around themes of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and poses the question of whether Daniel can build a stable life while still processing trauma and reckoning with relationships he let slide.
"I wanted to tell a story about survival and the possibility of redemption," Bandaccari-Stephens said in the announcement. "Daniel’s journey reflects how we all must sometimes find our strength from within when those we love most are no longer present."
Bandaccari-Stephens lives in California with her husband, Michael, and their two cats and two dogs. Before this novel, she published two poetry anthology collections. According to the announcement, she draws on a range of professional experience and writes primarily about settings and situations she knows firsthand.
"Uncharted Life" is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Bandaccari-Stephens’ move from poetry into long-form fiction is received, given that this marks her first novel-length work.
