Now that it’s late December, we’re fully into the awards season where crafts people in the industry get to nominate their colleagues in various below-the-line categories. Unlike the past few years, we’re including both television and film craft here, because many of the guilds and societies will be nominating for their annual awards, which include both film and television.
You can also get a quick reminder of some of our interviews from earlier in the year with Below the Line‘s Television Craft Awards Round-Up.
