I do not want to be a spoiler but I'm really excited. At first, it was just a plan to join a short film festival here in Albay, Philippines, the 3rd Magayon Short Film Festival. And now, our short film is in the process of editing.
I wrote the story and I was a bit worried whether they will like it or just laugh at it. The story is really weird and unusual but I really defended it because I know that fictions are fictions, it is not reality but it has the possibility to be real. And I believe, that my story is worth the 1st prize in the festival (just a bragging drive for us to be inspired!). It's up on the visual whether our director will give justice to the story.
Though I really want to share what our short film is all about, due to the festival guidelines and for the protection of our entry, I cannot share it for now. All I want to share is my experiences during the film process, the shooting, the editing, and the bonding.

This is my first independent film experience and I can say that I really had fun during the whole process. Thank you to those people who really helped us make this film possible. Our first independent film will be an official entry in the 3rd Magayon Short Film Festival. The whole production are hoping that our entry will be part of the ten finalists of the event, and on April 24, 2012, all the films who made it to the final will be viewed on public. Please support the 3rd Magayon Film Festival, Albay Mabuhay!
