My Origin
Born and raised in the Philippines, moved to South Korea in 2013 before finally settling in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2016.
I started my journey back in 2020 doing all sorts of multimedia before studying Film & TV for two years starting in 2021.
What's in 2026?
Having spent 9 years in Christchurch, I embarked on a new chapter in my career taking on a role as an Audiovisual Technician in beautiful Queenstown from February to September.
I am now residing in Auckland, back in the filmmaking industry both as a freelancer and a full-time video editor.
My Tools
I primarily use Sony’s Cinema Line, having operated on both FX6, FX3 & FX30 either handheld, tripod or a gimbal.
My Software
I am confidently capable editing on both DaVinci Resolve Studio & Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, & more).
How did I get into filmmaking?
The most integral turning point would be when I got an iPad and I would start making videos of whatever and editing with iMovie before putting it on YouTube – from then on I ended up realizing my passion for storytelling and filmmaking when I would ask myself “How would I have done it differently?” after every film I watch.
That then leads me to “why?” Well, the earliest recollection I have of my first films were Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli films like ‘Castle in the Sky’, ‘My Neigbor, Totoro’, ‘Spirited Away’, etc. Those films transported me into another world that is so magical and inspiring, the stories were heartfelt and powerful. Now I want to be able to inspire the next generation of young filmmakers through any form of media.
