\u201cCanadians in film don\u2019t just help generate billions of dollars for the Canadian economy but are also, once again this year, being recognized as amongst the best, most talented creators and creatives in the industry,\u201d said Zaib Shaikh, Consul General of Canada in Los Angeles. \u201cIt is an honour to celebrate their success, and to highlight the diversity that is inherent to Canadian storytellers. It is clear that the stories Canadians choose to tell resonate with global audiences everywhere because they explore universal truths, highlight values of inclusivity and showcase human perseverance.\u201d<\/p>\n
