The newest hardcopy issue of Playback is out!

As the cover indicates, its main theme is transmedia storytelling, and the package of stories on the topic offer tips and insights for Canadian producers looking to exploit the multi-platform entertainment environment.

As well, in light of the Canadian Screen Awards events and award ceremonies happening this week we take a look at the top trends in scripted television fare as well as what can be done to increase awareness of Canadian-made films and, hopefully, boost their domestic box office.

We also put the spotlight on the Canadian Film Centre, which is marking 25 years as a major industry power in 2013.

The issue also includes Turning a Page, a regular section devoted to recently-created business ventures from industry veterans. In it, we essentially ask them: Why did you make this change in your career, now?

Finally, don’t miss comedy writers Bob Martin and Craig David Wallace’s hilarious tip sheet for making a cult hit of your TV series on the back page.
