The film narrates the life and experiences of a third-culture kid in a personal lens as he shares the tale of his father and how he dealt with the death of his grandmother. As the tale unfolds, he realizes he must hide his lola’s condition to spare guilt from his relatives and family abroad. The film utilizes the Dependency theory while also emphasizing the resistance due to close-family ties in Asian Collectivist cultures based on the story. This is further shown in the film as secrets are kept to preserve the harmony and relationships within the family especially while away from each other. It mentions the special qualities Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) encompasses and how they are
expected to endure despite personal struggles such as being away from their loved ones. The work connects photographs, recorded anecdotes, and mixed media videos in an attempt to rekindle a reunion scenario within the family.

Girl is a narrative drama short film (concept) about a young girl named Girl, who discovers that her perfect family is not at all what she painted it out to be; with a dreamy house, doll-like parents, and the thinking that the whole world revolves around her. She deals with witnessing domestic violence against her mother, even if she sees her father as her hero, as the façade of a perfect family in her mind falls apart. With bright colors, upbeat music, and toy-like production design, the filmmaker hopes to exhibit how violence overlaps innocence, anywhere and anytime.

The unproduced short film, Banal na Aso (Holy Shih Tzu!), is a satirical dark comedy mockumentary of a cult called Sanshi and their ritual process to summon the Philippines’ next president. Chaos ensues as they choose the vessel for the spirit and their summoning ritual goes up in flames. The film satirizes actual political and religious leaders to show the absurdity of having them in positions of power. It uses Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical theory to show how these characters put on performances to appeal to the public, and the contagion theory to demonstrate how groups can easily become
uncontrolled, wild, and frenzied, and exhibit as a result unreasonable and emotionally charged behavior.

Ayos is a sci-fi narrative short film (concept) following Gelo, a repairman in a future dystopian Philippines. For his job, he uses a nearly perfect gadget called the Diagnostic Device that automatically fixes any malfunctioning technology. One night, after a job, he follows a strange noise down an alleyway and ends up in a retro arcade where he meets an old friend. In a trip down gaming memory lane, Gelo rediscovers who he truly is. With futuristic production design and modern CGI the filmmaker hopes to exhibit the feeling
of alienation in a technologically advanced world.

Breathe is an experimental film on the filmmaker's journey to her finish line: her university graduation. In the process of reaching for her goal, she experiences having to wrestle between the push and pull of who she is and who the people around her want her to be; the filmmaker struggles to breathe. On the one hand. the work depicts her thoughts filled with memories of good times with family and friends, while on the other hand, it attempts to express the inner workings of her mind whenever it goes dark. Using found footage from past trips and adventures, the work was knit together with the guidance of Sergei Eisenstein's dialectic film formula. Influenced by George Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism and Charles Horton Cooley's Looking-Glass Self, the videos used were carefully chosen to manifest the meanings they hold to the filmmaker.
