A Personal Ask – Help Me Bring Ang Huling Sayaw to New Audiences! 🎬✨

Hi friends, family, and my amazing community,

I’m sharing this with so much excitement (and a bit of nerves!). As many of you know, I’ve been working on my short film, Ang Huling Sayaw (The Late Checkout) – a story that’s so close to my heart. It’s based on my experiences as a q***r person during lockdown, and with the love and support of my community, we brought it to life last year.

What I didn’t expect was how far this little film would go. Fast forward to today, and Ang Huling Sayaw has been accepted into 9 film festivals and even won an award! 🌟 I’ve got screenings coming up in Las Vegas and Philadelphia, and I’m beyond excited. But here’s the thing – getting to these out-of-state festivals is a bit of a financial challenge.

I’ve worked so hard for this moment, and I really want to be there in person to celebrate and continue growing as a filmmaker. So, I’m reaching out to my community – to YOU – with a heartfelt ask. If you’re able to contribute anything, it would mean the world to me. 🙏 And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post or offering any advice on travel or accommodations would be equally amazing!

You can send your donations via Venmo here: venmo.com/u/EDRIANPENGUINO

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for your support. Your generosity and belief in me have helped me get this far, and I know we’ll continue to do amazing things together. 💛

With all my love and gratitude.

LIFE LATELY (2024) by Edrian Pangilinan
----
Hii yall! It has been way too long since I've vlogged and I must say, I've absolutely missed it. Though this isn't my focus so much these days since I am now working as a filmmaker, I am glad I get to come back to this. I just wanted to share a glimpse of my life as of late- in all of it's facets.

Lastly, I just want to express how nice it is to be able to simply express myself again through this medium.

✨ REBRANDING 2024 ✨
Hey ya’ll! Please let me reintroduce myself for anyone new - my name is Edrian Pangilinan and I am a Filipino-American content creator/filmmaker/photographer + dance artist based in San Diego, CA. My work is greatly inspired by my representation as a brown, filipino and q***r human. I am super grateful to pursue my dreams of becoming a filmmaker focusing on LGBTQIA+ related themes that challenge the status quo AND initiate dialogues necessary for change.

💫 As far as my cute lil’ professional bio goes, I am very happy to go back to what I started back in 2018. “STUDIO PENGUINO” was created out of love, passion and a whole lot of dreams as a means to entering the real world after finally graduating from college. I realized that as someone that has relentlessly pursued this path, I am super thankful for everyone who has rooted for me throughout the years whether that was through hiring me for your photography/video needs, being a moral support or even just simply wishing me well. Y’all are the reason that I was able to have a career in this.

🙋🏽‍♂️ But now, going into 2024 and onward, being now starting to be deep in my early 30’s - I want to be more super intentional about how I show up in this world not only as a person but through my craft (which I recognize is my legacy I want to leave behind). What first started off, just simply as a photography studio, I slowly want to start transitioning into a more “in-house creative boutique” (note: not agency). There are so many things I want to offer beyond what I’ve been offering (i.e, creative consultations, and even artist management, YES thats right!!)

I am very excited to work with you for all of your photography + film/video needs/dreams/projects. Please shoot me a DM if you’re interested/have any questions. xx

TONIGHT!!! 🎬🌈👯
Am super grateful + excited to finally premiere, “IKAW/AKO” (A Story of Us) - a project so dear in my heart and in the works since the beginning of this year with my community, “The Filam Film Collective”.

This project also serves as a dance film PSA for Disco Riot’s upcoming “Move American” series which features a different self-directed movement artist examining or sharing a social justice/political/human rights topic. For me personally, on top of all of the things I could’ve chosen to talk about- community was something that kept going back to me as an anchor to my overall journey in life + now, more than ever, we need to “find your community, discover your power within and create social change together.”

P R E V I E W 🌟
Raquel Saulog 70th Birthday Celebration
via Sarali Saulog
------------
It has been quite some time since I've had the opportunity to photograph these days since I've mainly been focusing more on filmmaking + straight up delivering food these days. When I was approached to do this, I admit - I definitely hesitated and almost said no, but when I really took the time to think about what this milestone meant, I knew I had this responsibility to fulfill.

Looking at this photo (amongst the rest of it too), I was reminded of my love for this craft and also the power of storytelling through this medium. Though I knew I had to work through my social anxieties, in the end I am absolutely glad I said YES to this very special opportunity.

Tita Raquel + family, thank you so much again for the trust in letting me reunite with you all to celebrate & also capture these special moments. Happy belated birthday!

FILM FEST ANNOUNCEMENT!
My dance film, "IKAW/AKO" (A Story of Us) will be making it's world premiere on Wednesday, June 12 at 7pm as part of Disco Riot's "Q***R MVMNT FEST" 2024 film screening. I am so excited to finally make this announcement- my team from The Filam FIlm Collective has been hard at work these few months working on this very meaningful and timely project.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
MOVE AMERICAN (from the 2020 edition)
2020 has been a turbulent year. It is also an election year. We have had more time and space than ever to deeply feel the injustice, inequity, and systemic oppression of the infrastructure of the United States. We know artists play vital roles in times like these. Artists testify with embodied stories, compose the art that will present the history often buried and erased, and creatively enact the better world we know is possible. To support the massive mobilization for change in the United States and help sustain the momentum of the movement all the way to the election, DISCO RIOT will present Move American, a 9-week series of short dance films from September 7 – November 2. Each video will feature a different self-directed movement artist from somewhere in the United States, examining or sharing a social justice/political/human rights topic. These dance films are intended to serve as Public Service Announcements of sorts, with a clear action item linked to each film calling on folks to prepare and take action to VOTE.

At 31, though I am still very much still really figuring things out (how to be in this world, be an adult, survive, thrive and etc). Moments like this affirm that through it all, I have made an impact in my community and the people that I serve.

Getting to finally sit down & meet with Irene Soriano (a powerful q***r Filipinx force to be reckoned with) has truly reminded me that my work, existence and what I have been fighting for does matter after all.

Can’t help but feel even more hopeful that this happened right at the new year. ❤️ thanks to my dear friend Trixi Anne Agiao for also joining me in this very lovely coffee date.
