This awards season already promises to be unlike any other — from the restrictions of the physical production, to social responsibility and the calls for more diversity, inclusion, and equity.
In this edition of our virtual “Film School Friday” series, we’ll talk with industry leaders about the future and evolution of awards. John Gibson, MPA’s Vice President of External and Multicultural Affairs, will moderate this event.
