HAPPY NA, BIRTHDAY PA! 🥳🎉🎁
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ENTIRE PITIK FILM TEAM!
Producing “Pitik” was a challenging endeavor for every one of us. We were forced to make do with a remote shoot and maximize our limited resources. We had to be creative, innovative, and quick-witted – all on a tight budget and schedule. From the pre-production to the post-production stage, we tried our best not to be complacent so that our message could really shine through!
It was truly an honor just to be nominated and recognized in this year’s Sine Reel alongside our fellow batchmates who also produced exceptional films. We wanted to take a moment to recognize the other categories our short film was nominated for:
•Best Actress (Cassie Aurelio)
•Best Actor (Patrick Flores)
•Best Sound
•Best Editing
•Best Screenplay
•Best Direction
In the end, we won not one, but TWO AWARDS!
