Project Background

This project was a brainchild of Blog Caliguia and Rianne Hill Soriano under Tuldok Animation Studios. They eventually worked as the film's producers alongside fellow Tuldok member Dudz Clotario. It was eventually entered to the IPOPHL's Copyright Plus Program for funding within the year of experiencing the lockdowns brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This film came into fruition through Tuldok's partnership with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) Bureau of Copyright and Related Rights (BCRR) under the Copyright Plus Program, an IPOPHL flagship project that aims to cater to the copyright-related needs specifically of the marginalized, unserved, underserved, minority groups or persons of the society. As the film was entirely made through virtual collaboration during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, it resulted to a production workflow leading to an animated documentary project. The three documentary subjects were interviewed via Zoom and their interviews were utilized as soundbites while also creating their animated characters and eventually recreating the interviews in animation format.
