Driven by the comically distinct voice of host William Shatner, MAKING A SCENE is a one-hour behind-the-scenes anniversary special that provides a candid look back at 30 years of Genie-winning films. Hollywood would be nothing without us! And over the past 30 years, the Genie Awards have been showcasing talent that proves just that.
The special retrospective will be told through outrageous and heartwarming stories from the likes of Christopher Plummer, Bruce Greenwood, Joshua Jackson, Colm Feore, Atom Egoyan, Norman Jewison, Maury Chaykin, Gordon Pinsent, Paul Gross, Scott Speedman, Cloris Leachman and many others. Behind-the-scenes moments and "just between us" conversations are told, as Canada's legends and today's emerging stars cross paths and dish about everything onscreen and off. MAKING A SCENE paints a proudly patriotic picture of Genie-recognized moviemakers and trailblazers who have left their stamp on the world.
One of pop culture's most recognized icons and a true Canadian trailblazer, William Shatner is the quintessential voice of this unexpected and unabashed look back that will give Canadians something to brag about. MAKING A SCENE is a CBC Television production. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Chris Jaymes (In Memory of My Father). Executive producer is Claire Adams (The Hour).
