Mumbai
(UNI):
Nine-year-old
director,
producer
and
script
writer
from
Mumbai
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
empathises
with
the
less
privileged,
was
moved
by
the
plight
of
street
children
some
of
whom
are
taken
care
of
by
the
Don
Bosco
Wadala
shelter
which
is
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
6
and
was
completed
on
March
7.
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
exams
helped
me
with
the
film,''
he
said.
