Klick won a Silver Film Lion for ' LOVE CAPTURED,' the dual-screen short it created for The Exodus Road to help people spot the hidden signs of human trafficking. The story centers on a romantic weekend escape, only to reveal a sinister portrayal of manipulation and control through synchronized hidden-camera footage. Campaign US described the film as 'gripping,' with 'a spectacular twist that will leave viewers breathless.' Klick collaborated on the unique, experiential film with director Thatiane Almeida (MAGMA) and audio house Jamute.

' 18 MONTHS,' the Second Nurture animated short, which Ad Age called 'gorgeously crafted' and 'amazingly beautiful to watch,' earned two Bronze Lions (Film and Film Craft categories). The film was inspired by the true story of Danny Stewart and Pete Mercurio, who adopted the baby Danny found abandoned in a New York City subway station. Created in partnership with Zombie Studio and Jamute, it illustrates that there is no wrong way to build a family.

Klick also received a Bronze Health & Wellness Lion for All* In Action Fund's ' THE TRIAL.' Called a 'chilling throwback' by MediaPost, the short film draws direct parallels between 17th-century Salem witch hunts and recent political attacks on women's rights with a script composed of modern-day quotes from anti-abortion politicians and reproductive justice advocates. It was directed by Gandja Monteiro (Wednesday, Agatha All Along) and produced in collaboration with Taking Over and Golden Hum.

French police probe fake Disneyland ‘marriage' with nine-year-old
French police were on Sunday probing the circumstances of a bizarre stunt at Disneyland outside of Paris, with a group of adults suspected of hiring the theme park and paying hundreds of extras to stage a fake marriage for a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl. Two people were held for questioning in the case, which initially caused alarm when staff alerted police on Saturday that it could have concerned an illegal child marriage. But investigators now believe that the so-called 'marriage' was staged, with the girl's mother reportedly saying that she wanted her to feel like a Disney 'princess' for the day. 'The event turned out to be a staged event, with the guests themselves extras' invited to be part of the stunt, deputy prosecutor Alexandre Verney said. 'So it wasn't a wedding, but a staged wedding filmed with around a hundred extras. They hired Disneyland Paris, pretending it was a real wedding,' he told AFP. Four people were arrested and taken into custody, and the questioning of two of them -- suspected of fraud and money laundering -- was extended on Saturday evening. They are the so-called 'groom' who is believed to be behind the event, 22 years old and 'presumed to be British', and a Latvian woman, 24, said a source close to the case. However, the other two people detained -- a 41-year-old Ukrainian woman, and a 55-year-old Latvian man -- were released. The investigations, including a medical examination of the nine-year-old girl, a Ukrainian national, found that 'she had not been subjected to any violence or coercive acts,' the prosecutor's office said. According to the Le Parisien daily, which first reported the incident, a man had several weeks previously hired the Disneyland Paris complex for a sum of 130,000 euros (US$150,000) for several hours before it opened to the public. Staff were astonished when the nine-year-old appeared wearing high heels on Saturday morning, barely able to stand in the elaborate footwear, and they alerted the authorities, it said. The paper said the man who organised the event had submitted false documents concerning his identity and Disneyland filed a complaint. Hundreds of extras were bussed in to play the part of the guests, it said, while the girl's mother told investigators she wanted to organise a 'day worthy of a princess' for her daughter.
