    “Mountain Queen” Earns Emmy for Outstanding Long Documentary 

    “Mountain Queen” Earns Award for Outstanding Long Documentary 

    LOS ANGELES -- (SPW) --

    Director Lucy Walker, who is on the roster of the global  commercial production company Merman, has won an Emmy® for her latest documentary “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa,” which was picked up at the Toronto International Film Festival last year for worldwide distribution by Netflix. The film won an Emmy® for Outstanding Long Documentary and was nominated for Outstanding Cinematography.

    Mountain Queen tells the story of Lhakpa Sherpa, the first woman to summit and descend Mount Everest.  Born into a milieu of socio-economic and cultural challenges, her life story is a chronicle of overcoming adversity to ascend to unparalleled heights. Now a single mother working at a Connecticut Whole Foods, Lhakpa leaves an abusive marriage and goes back to Everest, risking everything on a record-breaking summit attempt to make a better life for her two daughters.

    “Mountain Queen” also won the Grand Prize at the Kendal Mountain Festival’s International Film Competition for 2024 as well as a 2024 Peabody Award. This is Walker’s second Emmy, having won in 2014 for her documentary “The Crash Reel.”

    Walker is currently developing several commercial projects with Merman. Her career in advertising is as acclaimed as her documentary vocation; she’s won three Cannes Lions, two Clios and two AICP awards.

    Morgan & Morgan’s “Power Move” Campaign Makes A Splash With a Merman Lifeguard

    Monday, August 3, 2026
    Still image from "Merman"

    Morgan & Morgan continues its unique, comedic approach to legal advertising with the latest installment of its national “Power Move” campaign. The firm's newest spot “Merman,” dives headfirst into the absurd and surfaces with the same sharp wit that has defined the campaign from the start.   The spot opens at a public pool, zooming in on the unlikely lifeguard on duty. He watches over the pool with the calm confidence of someone who was literally born for this job. The twist: he’s a merman. When a woman suddenly finds herself in “distress”, the merman lifeguard springs into action, diving into the pool and cutting effortlessly through the water to her rescue. Equal parts heroic and completely unhinged, the spot closes with the merman gliding her to safety followed by a perfectly timed dolphin call.   The campaign’s trademark closer quickly follows: “Having a merman as your lifeguard is a power move. Hiring America's largest injury law firm after an injury? That's a power move, too.” Read More
