Why do I want to tell stories?

​

I was born and raised in the Philippines and moved to the US in college. After working a few years in corporate finance, i decided to travel the world and start living my life. After traveling, I pursued acting and trained in a theatre conservatory program. Through this program, I discovered directing and my passion for story telling of women's struggles and resilience. As a mother and mindfulness teacher, I have deepened my understanding of the human condition.

​

I aspire to tell stories of the human condition, our struggles and resilience through a woman's point of view. I yearn to aspire other women to live a wholehearted life and move towards acceptance and self love.

10 Minutes

10 minutes is a film about my life in a day as a busy Mom, trying to balance the endless to do lists, relationships with my children and self care. 

Working in reverse order, I filmed all the shots as they occur in a span of two days, then wrote a poem based on my experience of living moment to moment.
