Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden has been selected as this year’s recipient of the North Fork TV Festival‘s Canopy Award.
An accolade for a member of the New York television community whose “persistence and integrity, bound by the twin spirits of independence and collaboration, stoke the creative ambitions of diverse people who have important stories to tell,” the Canopy Award will be presented to Harden on Aug. 28 during this year’s North Fork TV Festival at a formal ceremony at The Halyard at the Soundview in Greenport, New York.
The ceremony will feature a conversation between Harden and PvNew’s Senior Business Writer, TV and Video Games Jennifer Maas, with an audience Q&A to follow.
