Stillness, before goodbye.

Photographed on the iPhone 13 Pro and edited by Arvin "Theodore" Rae Javier, these images capture quiet moments shared with dear friends during our recent retreat—one of the final pauses before we all part ways.

These photographs aren’t about the crowd, but about the calm—the silent in-betweens that hold the weight of connection, reflection, and farewell. A stillness made alive, one frame at a time.

✨ PUSO NG SINING AWARD✨

We are deeply honored and grateful to receive the Puso ng Sining Award for our short film "Sorry, Anak.." at this year's CinemaPrimera Regional Film Festival.

Thank you, CinemaPrimera, for recognizing the heart behind our story. This film was created not just as a work of art, but as a conversation—a quiet plea between generations, and a mirror to the complexities of family life.

To everyone who supported us, shared their stories, and believed in the purpose of this film—maraming salamat. This win is not just for us, but for every voice that deserves to be heard.

This is just the beginning. 💛

TRAILER | "Sorry, Anak"
In a household where silence speaks louder than words, a child grapples with the weight of unspoken expectations and the echoes of strained love. "Sorry, Anak" is a poignant short film that explores the quiet complexities of Filipino family dynamics, mental health, and the longing to be understood.

As tensions rise within the home, what remains unsaid begins to shape what is felt.

🎬 Watch the trailer now and take a glimpse into a story that’s all too real, yet rarely told.
The full film will be posted soon—stay tuned. 💙

Behind the Lens of “Sorry, Anak” 🎬✨
Here’s a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes of our capstone film "Sorry, Anak." From setting up frames to capturing raw emotions, every moment was a mix of chaos, collaboration, and creative magic.

Huge thanks to Aurora Romasanta for beautifully capturing these moments through her lens. Your eye for detail and storytelling made these BTS shots just as meaningful as the film itself. 📸💙
