Sa Kabilang Buhay
Directed by Galo Gonzales
Written by Jean A. Evangelista
A girl who has just committed suicide reminisces her past memories as she slowly regrets having done her final act.
In this project I pushed myself to take approaches that I haven't taken before.
The non-linear storytelling of the film is both a Pre-production and Production problem as it interferes with multiple possibilities of how to shoot this project.
Another factor is the use of non-professional actors. Although some have experiences in theater, directing scenes took time and constant effort especially with emotionally-loaded sequences.
I enjoyed this project for the sole purpose that I had the most creative space out of all the projects I did in 2022.
Stills from the short film, "Sa Kabilang Buhay"(2022).
