I write and direct.
I love including bodies of water in my works.

We take whatever's left.

End of a civil war. In a riverside apartment, a woman prepares to leave her home for the first time since the war, while a soldier returns in search of his dead wife’s dress. As they disrupt one another's solitude, they realize the scraps of who the war has left them to be.

A filmmaker travels to the edge of the Bicol peninsula to revisit a coastal town’s cycle of leaving and returning through meditations on fishing and a telephone conversation with his animator-father.

A woman finds herself in purgatory. On her last day before sailing to Heaven, she questions the idea of love in a painless place.
