A small creative project I've been meaning to make as part of my storytelling and reimagining of the Filipino Diwata.
Myself as a canvas, using media production as the medium. I present a short film that captures the fleeting coexistence of these mystical beings. A glimpse of parallelism between realities. A reminder of the ephemeral magic of the Filipino Hiwaga.

Direction, Cinematography, Costume, Actor, and Post-Production: me
Music: Origin Theory (also me lol)
