Tony Papa is very proud to announce that WordLoveWorldLove, an Avanti Pictures Production, has received "BEST DOCUMENTARY" (age 8 to 12) at the KIDS FIRST! Best Day and Awards Celebration held in Malibu California. "I am extremely pleased and honoured by this award because we worked hard to shape the film precisely for that demographic (as well as adults) and to be recognized as hitting the target is really a thrill." says Papa. WordLoveWorldLove is a heartfelt journey of children from Cleveland Elementary School in North Vancouver connecting with a school in Sri Lanka through their words and art, one year after the devastating tsunami hit the region.
