My work as a documentary filmmaker is focused on uplifting stories within the Filipino community in California and across the globe. Through day to day building with community members, I dedicate my camera to sharing our voices, documenting our history, and pushing for a future free from the exploitation many of our kababayan (countrymen) face. To plug in to my ongoing work, please visit SIKLAB media. I am also co-directing my first feature length documentary, Be Not Afraid. Please visit out Seed & Spark campaign to help us finish this powerful film.
