The recognition was awarded for its commercial production –  Stoney Acres: Farm to Table Pizza, winning the Gold People’s Telly Award for Online Commercial and Jason Rajasinghe receiving the Silver Telly Award for Craft-Directing.

Jason Rajasinghe notes, “I am grateful for the opportunity to tell Stoney Acres’ story yet again, this time through a new lens alongside the owner Tony Schultz who produced this with us. This is another win for Sri Lanka, and I hope it continues to serve and inspire the youth to see the potential in our people’s ability to impact the film industry both locally and internationally. Passions can turn into greater purpose, and for that I honor my WOWLife Church.”
