They’re not the big names you see in some of this year’s Academy Award-nominated movies. But they're the artisans who created everything from the visual effects to the musical scores of the Oscar contenders.
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival has announced it will honor ten of the craftspeople with the festival’s Variety Artisans Award, presented annually to a group of people who do the behind-the-scenes work on the industry’s most acclaimed films.
The honorees include Jack Fisk for production design on Marty Supreme, Andy Jurgenson for editing on One Battle After Another, and Chris Welker for production sound mixing for Sinners.
See a list of the winners.
All ten people being honored at the February 7 Artisans Award event in Santa Barbara are Oscar nominees.
