Station to Station with Joe Pavia

Hello Everyone,

I would like to invite you to the online premiere of the short film ‘World Ongoing.’

In the film I play the role of the father who answers his young son’s question “What is the world?” David Alonso voices the role of the young son Kai. 

 ‘World Ongoing’ premiered on Thursday, July 4, 2024, on the website of director, Tomi Kufel.

Watch it here:

It was a pleasure to be a part of Tomi’s film! This was Tomi’s final year thesis film at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.

Thank you and take care!

Joe

Here is the announcement from Tomi Kufel as it appeared on his Instagram page:

New Short FILM, releasing 4th JULY, coming to website https:www.tomikufel.com! 

Save the date. Arriving this American Independence Day 🇺🇸

Anthology film in the universe of Life Ongoing 🌱, World Ongoing 🌎 🎬 is a story that opens up the series to a new form of cinematic exploration.

This project, close to my heart, is my final directing and acting thesis for B.A. in Film & TV Production from Loyola Marymount University @loyolamarymount School of Film and Television @sftv.

One I was able to shoot to finish my studies, thanks to LMU scholarships, my GoFund Me supporters and the Norwegian Lanekassen.

——— About the Film & Cast ———

“What is the World?” asks the young Child (voiced by the Little Prince of our production: David Alonso). His father (voiced by Joe Pavia @paviajoe1964), undertakes the challenge of providing the answer.

A question of innocence and curiosity, sparks the story of Kai.

As the father-son conversation unfolds, audiences will travel to see the world anew, from diverse angles, twists and fresh perspectives. A clash of physical and metaphysical realities, between the seen and unseen, an experience of World Ongoing.
