Quote:
"For all its accomplishment, Studio D has not found its path entirely free of obstacles. [Rina] Fraticelli acknowledges that one of the unit's biggest problems lies in distribution—limited, without televised screenings, to community showings and NFB video rentals. But the CBC is reluctant to air Studio D productions, she said. Even To A Safer Place had to wait 1 1/2 years after release to get on CBC air—after appearing twice on U.S. public television."
