Movie Review: I'm Ellenya L.
The film follows the simple but ambitious 21-year old Ellenya Lakampanti (played by Maris) on her quest to become the next big vlogger. On most days, Ellenya spends her time patterning her online presence on her celebrity idol (with the special participation of Sue Ramirez playing herself). Luckily, her musician father Daddy Toots (Gio Alvarez) is there to support her. Even if it means climbing on a roof to get her that perfect "drone shoot".
Her bestfriend, talented photographer and literal boy-next-door, Peng (Inigo Pascual) is also always there. Even though, frankly, he has become quite wary of Ellenya's obsession with the image she projects online.

When a chance encounter leads Ellenya to meet Sue Ramirez' starmaker and fellow influencer Kyle Quintos (Patrick Sugui), she takes the opportunity to get his help. Quintos can transform her into the big time vlogger she dreams of becoming. He agrees to help her on one condition: she has to prove her potential by becoming viral online within a week.
In an age where everyone is an influencer, and where everyone is a blogger, what does it take to be "instafamous" Are "likes" and "follows" all that really matters nowadays?

Movie Review: Ang Hupa
The film is set in the year 2034 AD. Southeast Asia has been in the dark for the last three years, literally, because the sun hasn’t shone as a result of massive volcanic eruptions at the Celebes Sea in 2031. Madmen control countries, communities, enclaves and bubble cities. Cataclysmic epidemics razed over the continent. Millions have died and millions have left.

Movie Review: Kita Kita
Kita Kita (I See You) tells the story of Lea and Tonyo, two Filipinos living in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Lea is a Velo taxi tour guide. She suffers an accident which leads to her being affected by temporary blindness. Her blindness, if not cured in a few weeks, could become permanent. Tonyo is also a Filipino who lives right across from Lea. Lea tries her best to ignore him at first because she is scared of not seeing him. But Tonyo is persistent and is determined to be her friend, using humor and kindness to make a connection. With every effort that he makes the two gradually become closer. In an ironic way, becoming blind allows Lea to see the true character of Tonyo. This story is about perception and about how sometimes we can’t see the real story behind a person. As Lea’s story ends, we will see Tonyo’s story begin.
