Super-huge thanks to author Maria Victoria Yujuico for focusing on “How Much Filipino” for her Positively Filipino Magazine article on contemporary Filipino artists and historical memory.
Working on this short film has been a true labor of love.
I couldn’t have done it without Rae Steinwand’s animation and an original score composed and performed by Theresa Calpotura.
This film is now heading out to festivals around the world.
Let’s see how it does.
