MUD Studios founder and director August Lyle Espino was inspired by a workshop he attended a few years ago, “where they were challenged to think outside of the box and create an even shorter version compared to what was usually required for a short film.”
“Lumalabas ang pagka-artist mo pag nali-limit ka. Doon ka mag-iisip,” Espino shared, talking about his experience from the said workshop. “Now is the best time to create art,” he added.
The 3SF festival finalists will be available for viewing on MUD’s website from November 5 to 11, 2021.
Awarding ceremonies will be held on November 12, 8 p.m. The Best Film, Best Direction, and Best Cinematography winners will receive cash prizes and plaques of recognition. The festival will also hand out a People’s Choice award.
Kase Lens PH will award a four-lens kit worth 12,000 pesos, including a travel case bag, 7.5mm fisheye lens, 16mm wide-angle lens, 25mm macro lens, 65mm telephoto lens, two clip mounts, and cleaning cloth, as a special prize. Three pieces Selens Redhead lights with light stand kit also await the winners.
Prior to the competition, 3SF organizers conducted a Creative Visioning Workshop last September 30, with speakers Espino and award-winning filmmaker Arvin Belarmino who gave the Philippines its historic first Best Film win at Interfilm Berlin and whose Life’s Pedal was named the top Asian Film of 2020, Belarmino’s collaborator in “The Gathering” film shortlisted in Moscow’s Mobile Filmmaker’s International Fest, and actor-filmmaker Mina Cruz.
The 3SF festival jury is made up of Belarmino, Cua, screenwriter Emmanuel Dela Cruz, and film producer Peter Mackie.
