CSC Award Nomination Plus World Festival Invites – Including SXSW!

The Defector has been selected into a number of festivals around the world including the SXSW Interactive Festival, March 8^th to 12^th in Austin, Texas. We’ll be there with Jam3 to give the inside scoop on how we built The Defector Interactive successfully from a feature documentary film project on our panel “10 Tips from Kim Jong-Il About Interactive Docs”. 

We’re also delighted to announce that our DP - Stephen Chung - has been nominated for Best Documentary Cinematography for the 56^th Annual Canadian Society of Cinematographers’ Awards for his amazing work on The Defector: Escape from North Korea. Please join us in congratulating him. We’ll keep you posted as the drum rolls…
