Anshul Khosla has won the ''Best Script'' award for his documentary
''Love Changes Everything'' at the inaugural Young Film Makers
Film Festival at Toronto in Canada.
Child prodigy Anshul of St. Dominic
Savio High School won the award in the under-10 category and his
was the only entry from India.
Anshul, who has just passed standard
IV, based his documentary on the true-life stories of street children.
Anshul, who empathizes with the less
privileged, was moved by the plight of street children, some of
whom are taken care of by Shelter Don Bosco, Wadala, run by Salesian
priests.
Following his visit to Shelter Don
Bosco on a social awareness programme, Anshul was shocked to hear
their real life stories and decided to base his documentary on
Ganesh, Babloo and Ijaz -- the characters in the film. ''Here
was a golden opportunity to showcase their lives and hopefully
bring a change for the better through love, ''reveals Anshul.''
"I believe love can change lives and decided to make it the
theme for my documentary, he says."
Once the script was ready, shooting
began on March 06 and was completed on March 07. The scenes were
shot at Snehasadan and St. Dominic Savio boys home. The 16-minute
documentary was shot on Sony camera.
On the occasion, Anshul said,
''Love Changes Everything'', is a message that love can cure everything.
He said he would like to make another film on a similar sensitive
issue and call it ''Love Changes Everything- part two''. ''I would
like to thank God, my school authorities, my parents for making
me such a good child and specially my sister who despite having
her Std. X board examinations, helped me with the film,'' he said.
