Zeroes & Ones at CSA Night 3
by Ralph Lucas, Publisher
(March 29, 2019- Toronto, ON) It was Digital Night last night at the Canadian Screen Awards. The venue shifted from the Heritage Hall at Exhibition Place to, by comparison, a much more intimate venue at the Globe and Mail Centre.
Titled The Gala Honouring Digital Storytelling, 13 Canadian Screen Awards were presented along with a presentation of many innovative digital technologies Canadians are using to expand the storytelling experience.
“Canadian film and television makers continue to advance the digital medium to tell their stories in totally unique and immersive ways,” said Beth Janson, CEO, Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television “With Canada being such a diverse place with so many incredible stories to tell, it’s vital to recognize their contributions.”
