David Chicken' DVD\" \/><\/div>\n<p>How did David &amp; crew end up with an Emmy? It all started with David&#8217;s involvement with the ALLenReads program. David did a live show at the Allen Public Library in 2007 and Allen City Television (ACTV) filmed it. They started airing the show and were &#8220;impressed with David&#8217;s talent,&#8221; so they proposed filming a music video with David. &#8220;Book a Trip&#8221; promotes reading so it was a natural fit with their reading program. Directed by Mark Kaufmann with ACTV, &#8220;Book a Trip&#8221; was filmed in the Allen Public Library and aired on ACTV shortly after that.<\/p>\n<p>After airing the live concert footage and &#8220;Book A Trip&#8221; and receiving &#8220;rave reviews&#8221;, ACTV started airing David&#8217;s DVD as well, divided into segments that aired like a series. Since ACTV aired the DVD and &#8220;Book a Trip&#8221;, they qualified for entry into the competition and both received a nomination.<\/p>\n<p>David was thankful to have Mama Chicken in attendance at the event in Houston. Also in attendance were John &amp; Christina Kenny (John is Producer &amp; &#8220;Smiley McGee&#8221; in the DVD) and Mark Kaufmann &amp; Scott Evans with the City of Allen.<\/p>\n<p>David would also like to thank business partner Glenn Hadsall, who helped enormously with the DVD.
