I had a recent epiphany that rather than expanding myself vertically, I would rather have an expansion horizontally. I plan to enlarge my frame of reference by seeing the whole world as I believe that going places is a learning experience. I discovered from recent trips and through internet that there is so much beauty in the world, and it would be such a waste not to relish it. The physical aspect of out world is dynamic enhancing its mystical appeal. I strongly believe that photography or cinematography should be utilized to document that beauty of our world that is ever changing. I am a trooper of the world with love for both exploration and visual creation as a result of my job as a production designer. I see myself taking photos, documenting and travelling to both highs and lows, beauty and grit, nature-gifted and man-constructed places. I have an attitude similar to that of the wind, which cannot be contained in one place only, there is always a need to traverse but means are scarce. I plan to capture what can be seen by my two eyes and share it to millions of eyes who had similar limitations of travel through my photography, I am eager to enhance given the opportunity.

My partner and I are alumni of University of the Philippines. We are fascinated with the diversity of our campus that is why we frequent it even after graduation. The campus is diversified not just in terms of people but also in terms space that bloomed out of different needs.This inspired us to start making films on locations that make our hearts fleet with excitement as we take on roads less traveled.

To date we have undergone Production Design workshop under Star Cinema. We had been trained as Production Design apprentices to various designers such as Leo Abaya, Nancy Arcega & Winston Acuyong. We had the privilege to learn through experience in an actual shooting of the movies Segunda Mano, The Reunion and The Mistress.

Through series of experiences, we’ve learned that to further our production design craft it is helpful to travelThis scholarship will not just provide a more structured way of travelling and looking at references but can also contribute to our learning process of film making. Hopefully it can also open doors to our childhood dreams of becoming a travel show host and a director.
