COLCOA DIGITAL SERIES COMPETITION
The 2018 COLCOA Digital Series program is comprised of four high profile productions — a documentary, thriller, comedy and drama. From a new generation of producers and filmmakers, as well as established production companies and creators, this new popular format has no reason to envy traditional TV series or movies. Convinced yet, or still need a nudge? Let curiosity be your guide: join us from April 24 to April 30 in the Melville Theatre.
The COLCOA Digital Series Competition is a free program with no RSVP necessary (entry on a first come, first served basis). The audience is invited to vote for the COLCOA Best Digital Series Award.
