UPDATED: The CSA ceremonies have been cancelled due to concerns over the COVID-19 health crisis.
BROTHERHOOD has been nominated for 2 Canadian Screen Awards!
The awards will be handed out on Sunday, March 29th in Toronto.
An Excerpt from the press release is below:
Brotherhood has been honoured with two nominations: Achievement in Visual Effects and Achievement in Music – Best Original Song. The visual effects wizardry in Brotherhood was magicked by Neishaw Ali’s Toronto-based SPIN VFX. With over 30 years in business, SPIN VFX has created captivating imagery for Oscars Best Picture, Spotlight, and prestige series such as Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. Says Neishaw Ali: “Brotherhood is a poignant story that touched the hearts of so many, and needed to be told. SPIN was honoured to join its journey, and we’re delighted by this nomination.”
Bramwell Tovey and Brotherhood’s writer / director Richard Bell were nominated for penning the original song “I’ve Got a Big One”: a ribald, jaunty pastiche of Great War marching songs. Bramwell Tovey is the music director emeritus of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and a Grammy-winning conductor and composer. Tovey and Bell were nominated previously, in the same category, at the Genie Awards for their previous film together, Eighteen.
The CSAs are widely considered to be the most prestigious award for Canadian entertainers, artists, and filmmakers, often referred to as the equivalent of the Oscars and Emmy Awards in the U.S. and the BAFTA Awards in the U.K.
