"Studio D's rise to fame began in 1978 when director Beverly Shaffer, upon receiving the first Academy Award garnered by the Film Board since 1952 for I'll Find a Way, thanked the NFB women's unit for its support of her work—in front of one of the largest annual prime time TV audences in North America."
