The veteran filmmaker, who is celebrating his 21st year in the business, was honored by the top industry trade journal with a nod in the category of Best Directing – Banner/Network for 2022, in recognition of his work with the Dogfart Network, as well as Bang.com.
“A Best Director Nomination is really a team effort – after all my years in the Army, I understand the importance of teamwork – we worked hard together to give 110% because we all wanted to do something extra-special every day we came to work – and I humbly accept that on behalf of the companies that hired me, the crew that worked so hard with me all year, and all the talent who worked with me this year.”
Long’s nomination and Hall of Fame induction come right on the heels of his recent success at the 360 Car Show in Las Vegas for his award-winning, published and manufacturer-sponsored Subaru Forester build. The 3-year build had Long searching for rare non-US parts all over the world, which he imported just for this build, and proved to be such an impressive entry that the judges awarded him 2nd place in the Subaru WRX category.
