PRESS RELEASE
Blauvelt, NY, 6/19/2020—Antoine McKnight, of DreamState Films, has won a prestigious ‘Award of Merit’ from ‘The Best Shorts Film Competition.’ The award was given for McKnight’s exciting dark comedy, “World Peace,” which challenges conventional beliefs on how we believe the world should be versus the world we actually need. “World Peace” features exceptional performances by Kyle Santos and the entire supporting cast, as well as magnificent cinematography by Joe Schufrieder.
“While we all want less violence and rage in the world, my purpose in writing and producing “World Peace” was to remind everyone that, as humans, we require a consistent measure of adversity to grow and thrive. Often that adversity is uncomfortable, unfair, and unwanted, but that doesn’t make it any less necessary. Antoine McKnight brilliantly brought this concept to life in an entertaining and inspiring way.” —Dave Madden, writer and producer, “World Peace.”
The ‘Best Shorts Competition’ recognizes film, television, videography, and new media professionals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity, and those who produce standout entertainment or contribute to profound social change.
