    I would like to express my utmost gratitude to the 2023 WSXA Paris // International Awards for the incredible honor of receiving the Staff Pick award for "514." It is truly humbling to have our film recognized in such a prestigious category. The Staff Pick award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team who poured their hearts into creating "514." This recognition not only validates our artistic vision but also motivates us to continue pushing boundaries in storytelling. Thank you to the WSXA Paris // International Awards for bestowing this honor upon us and for acknowledging the impact of "514" among the festival's staff.
