9’ short film 2006

Everyone lives in their own dream. Once there are crushes between the dreams and reality, there will be an irreconcilable conflict. It is indeed one of the most challenging parts in this film that is to integrate different ideas.

6’ 2’’ short film 2008

It is based on an Urdu poem of Abha Iyengar, who acts and recites in the film as well. It is about the poet s need for self-expression and self-realization. The poet is waiting for a new life; she hears the call of a distant shore. As she waits to be ferried across time and space, her thoughts race back to her childhood and her dreams as a young woman. Then her funeral pyre is lit, and her journey continues with the promise of a new freedom.

15’ 22’’ short film 2007

This 15 minutes film purely manifested the two faces of the Philippines today. First the abounding Christian culture as the backdrop of the rural dwellers contrary to the old superstitious belief and second, the deep destitution that reflected in a small town hospital. An incident that will test their faith will abruptly unfurl, as Nato father, son and a friend to Akel will face the reality of existence.

47’ short film 2006

A director originally plans to shoot a piece of independent short film, with everyone setting out in passionate sincerity and ideology. Yet as the production goes on, he gradually finds himself performing the role of a small side-actor, while the working crew has become the director instead. Under the camera lens of a featured photographer, it records a piece of vivacious documentary. When the director transforms into an actor, the whole story then shears with cuts and bruises. In order to attain all his previous status, the director is determined to forfeit one thing, and let everyone know who the superior is.
