Tom Holland, Oscar-Nominated Director Pawo Choyning Dorji Earn Awards At Inaugural World Culture Film Festival
Actor Tom Holland and Oscar-nominated director Pawo Choyning Dorji were among winners of awards at the inaugural World Culture Film Festival in L.A.
“When Tom was 14 years old, he came and auditioned for us when I was a producer and he made a movie for us called In the Heart of the Sea, which is the true story that inspired Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The dramedy, set in Dorji’s native Bhutan, tells the story of a lama who asks a young monk to get some weapons for him as their country faces a critical moment — transitioning from a monarchy to a democracy. WCFF’s purpose is to provide a platform for “entertainment that uplifts, bringing stories from every part of the world that elevate human consciousness through the art of cinema.”
