Updated my editing reel 8 years later🫠

The idea of shooting this all on 16mm was actually scary to me, so much self-doubt and uncertainty stole countless hours of sleep. I kept telling myself to just take the risk, that I can make the right choices at the right times—and I was able to do that because of the trust I had in such an incredible cast and crew, as well as their trust in me. I cannot wait for the footage to be processed and scanned so I start editing this. .. 📸: @patrick_stvr s/o: @seedandspark

We are just two days away from our #FAHMBAM and the start of #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth! Let’s watch six wonderful shorts from our talented community, including VS @watchvsfilm by Jole Sanchez @joley ! VS A time capsule of the ‘90s contains memories of adolescence, fun, but also old biases. Justin is addicted to the arcade game at his father’s convenience store, where other neighborhood kids gather to compete. But instead of uniting them, the real world trickles in and prejudice rises to the surface.
