Another story, another honor. 🎥

Cinematographer Adam Welch has been nominated once again for a Midwest Emmy — this time for “The Pope’s Visit to Iowa,” an Iowa PBS documentary exploring one of the most unforgettable chapters in Iowa’s history.

In October 1979, Pope John Paul II made Iowa one of the stops on his inaugural U.S. tour. This film follows the remarkable logistical and spiritual preparation that brought the Pope to the Heartland — and the day that forever marked Iowa’s place in history.

At WelchFilm, we believe in the power of film to strengthen communities and preserve shared history. Stories like this remind us how moments of unity and connection can leave a lasting impact that echoes for generations. 🎥✨

We’re proud to share that cinematographer Adam Welch has been nominated for a Midwest Emmy Award for his work on “Rebuilding the American Clothing Industry” — a powerful story for PBS’s Market to Market.

This visually compelling piece takes viewers inside Fox River Mills in Osage, Iowa — the oldest continuously operating sock mill in the U.S. — and explores how small-town manufacturing is finding new life in a globalized world.

At WelchFilm, we believe in the power of visual storytelling and cinematic impact — and this nomination is a testament to that mission. 🎥💡
