The National Film Board of Canada continues to push all boundaries and constraints of storytelling in Canada, and our guest Eloi takes on a tour of the Montréal English language animation studio. Through trials and tribulations, the animation, audio and distribution systems are being rewritten in real time. Eloi explains.
