After a dazzling night celebrating dynamic artists from in front of the camera, Sunday morning, February 11th, brings a bevy of amazing artists from BEHIND the camera into focus. In partnership with the trade journal Variety, the VARIETY ARTISANS AWARD recognizes " the artisans who have showcased the most innovative work of the year in their craft." This year these include composers, visual effects, make up, production and costume designers, sound recording and song writers. This year SBIFF programmed the event mid-day, but LAUREN & TEYA are on hand and ready with questions for all NINE awardees.
