Monmouth County’s “Honoring Our Heroes,” has been named Best PSA by the 24th annual Garden State Film Festival, Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon announced this week.
The PSA highlights the Monmouth County Clerk’s discount program for veterans and Gold Star families and calls upon business owners to join the growing directory of 260+ participating businesses. Business owners interested in participating or veterans seeking access to the directory can find this information online at MonmouthCountyVeterans.com.
“This award is such an honor, not only because the Garden State Film Festival is such a significant event here in Monmouth County, but because this film is particularly important,” said Hanlon, who served as the Executive Producer of the PSA. “This public service announcement is a call to action to honor our veterans and Gold Star family members for their great sacrifices to protect our freedom.”
The 30-second spot is available for viewing on the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office YouTube Channel.
The Garden State Film Festival, an independent film festival held annually in Asbury Park and Cranford, also recognized two other films co-produced by Hanlon. As Co-Chairs of the MonmouthNJ 250 Committee, the County Clerk and Commission Director Tom Arnone both served as Executive Producers of “Monmouth County at War: Rebels, Raiders and Revolution,” which won best Home Grown Documentary Feature and “History with Hanlon & Arnone,” which won best Home Grown Web Series.
The Office of the Monmouth County Clerk is comprised of five divisions handling elections, property recordings, archives, passports and records management. The Office also provides resident, veteran and Gold Star Family identification cards to eligible county residents, administers oaths to notaries and public officials and performs wedding ceremonies.
The Monmouth County Clerk is a constitutional and administrative officer elected to a five-year term by the voters of Monmouth County. Hanlon has served as Monmouth County Clerk since 2015.
