A short film focused on Air Force survival training has been nominated for an Emmy, Airman Magazine announced.
"The Perfect Edge," a film (you can see here) about the Air Force's Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape training, or SERE, was nominated for a regional Emmy by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter.
Directed by Andrew Arthur Breese, a multimedia producer for Airman, the video follows Senior Airman Joseph Collett as he creates survival knives for use in the SERE training.
In the film, Collett compares the process of creating a knife to what airmen go through during survival training.
"Whatever idea they come with, it's molded, and it's shaped," he said. "We're going to put you in the furnace. They're going to scorch your hide. They're going to make you feel the heat…Right before I can call a knife a knife, before I even put the edge on, I've got to make it hard."
The Emmy winners will be announced at a Bethesda, Maryland, ceremony June 27.
