Greatest Performance (2026)
During a film shoot where abuse is disguised as artistic direction, a comeback actress commits a devastating performance to survive, exposing how cinema can construct and legitimize violence. In Ang Lihim ni Teresa (Teresa's Secret), she enters a set where authority is absolute and cruelty is framed as discipline. As production unfolds, she loses control over body, emotion, and authorship, where survival is mistaken for consent. When violence escalates, she chooses to live, burying the truth as the director’s collapse is rewritten as myth. The set becomes a crime scene without witnesses. In the aftermath, she is praised for her “courage” while a sound technician retreats into silence. At a commemorative screening, celebration fractures, revealing cinema’s ability to transform violence into narrative and absolution. The myth of the Kataw appears briefly through Ang Lihim ng Kataw (The Secret of Kataw).

The Straw That Broke (2021)
"The Straw That Broke" is a surrealist, micro-budget meta-fiction feature blending retro-futuristic aesthetics with philosophy to explore the boundaries between reality and the digital realm. "The virtual is viral," announces Clea Bardan, editor at DeBase SF, to Claudia Weiss, her overworked author of futuristic pulp fiction. Clea demands an impossible task: write five volumes within 31 hours. Claudia's journey spans from Stuttgart to Nueva York, a Harkonnen spaceship, and a water-based planet holding the secret to saving the multiverse from the O-Cloud—a virus destroying sentient life at its ontological core. But how much of this reality is authentic, and can a talking mouse from Claudia's own stories save the multiverse? Using diverse cinematic devices, the film tackles deep metaphysical questions while remaining a poignant story about loss, love, and hope for us all.
