Bentley Arnage T Film Wins 2003 Telly Award

New DVD Trains Dealer Network and Informs Consumers About the World's Most Powerful Production Sedan, the Next Generation Bentley Arnage

ATLANTA, May 14 -- Bentley Motors has been awarded a coveted "Telly" for its production of "Arnage T: The Ultimate Driver's Bentley". Produced by Gary Pietruszewski, Bentley Franchise Director, the piece serves as a training tool for the company's worldwide dealer sales network and as an in-store infomercial targeted at consumers. The film can be seen @ http://www.executivevisions.com/projectdetails.asp?ProjectID=93 .

Shot on Super 35mm film in 16:9 widescreen format and edited in 24p High- Definition Television (HDTV), the program showcases the awesome capabilities of Arnage T, the world's most powerful production saloon. Professional racer and LeMans winner Justin Bell is captured in dramatic style, pushing the car to its limits around the high banks of the 1.5-mile Atlanta Motor Speedway and at the MIRA Proving Grounds in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. Pietruszewski stated, "To truly exhibit the potential of the Arnage T, we had to show it in a performance environment. By using extensive action sequences and car mounted camera techniques, we were able to communicate exactly what the car is all about...the ultimate combination of luxury, power and performance."

The Telly Awards were founded in 1980 and are among the most sought-after awards in the television, commercial and video industry. Pietruszewski, a four-time recipient of the award, worked with strategic communications partner, producer and production company Executive Visions Inc. (EVI) of Atlanta to create the award-winning program.
