CinePanalo Film Fest tutuklas ng mga bago at talentadong film makers 

KAHANGA-HANGA ang patuloy na pagtulong ng Puregold sa movie/entertainment industry dahil bukod sa paggawa nila ng mga serye na ipinalalabas sa kanilang online platform tutuklas naman sila ng mga bago at talentadong film makers sa pamamagitan ng kanilang CinePanalo Film Festival.

Hinahanap nila ang original, wholesome, inspiring, at family oriented films na mga entry  na may temang Mga Kwentong Panalo ng Buhay. 

Ayon kay  CinePanalo Film Festival project director na si Chris Cahilig, magandang pagkakataon ang Purgold’s CinePanalo Film Festival para sa mga aspiring filmmakers.

Bukod sa bagong venue ng mga pelikula, full support din ang CinePanalo Film Festival sa aspiring filmmakers na mabibigyan ng grant ang mapipiling kuwento.

Sa full-length category, mabibigyan ng grant na P2,500,000 each ang limang mapipiling direktor habang P100,000 each naman sa 25 short film at student directors. 

“CinePanalo is an opportunity to creatively tell beautiful and inspiring stories through film. With the advent of social media contents, filmmakers needed to evolve by giving familiar themes a new form and perspective,” sabi ni Cahilig.

Masaya at excited na ang Senior Manager for Marketing ng Puregold na si Ivy Piedad sa proyektong ito dahil naniniwala siya sa creativity at husay ng aspiring Filipino talent sa pagbabahagi ng mga panalong kuwento.

“We will provide resources that every young filmmaker dreams of: the financial means to practice one’s craft and screen in major cinemas as well as online. These tools will help spark their creativity and lead to a priceless first-hand education on producing high-quality content,” ani Ivy.

 “We want to reach out to fresh new talent that will help define the industry, and potentially spur Puregold’s retailtainment initiatives in the years to come. That’s why our short film category is open to students and campus-based filmmakers looking for their big break. We’ve also partnered with several schools in the country to reach out to the next generation of filmmakers,” dagdag pa ni Ms. Ivy.

Marami naman ang agad na nagpakita ng interes sa bagong proyektong ito ng Puregold. 

“The moment that I made a teaser announcement on my Facebook page, I received tons of inquiries from student and professional filmmakers. Literal na naging call center ako for a few days. I am expecting more inquiries as we formally announce the festival mechanics,” sabi pa ni Cahilig. 

Sa mga interesado kailangan ng: duly accomplished entry form, a synopsis not longer than 300 words, a detailed sequence treatment, a resume of the director with links to sample works (if any), and a digital copy of the director’s profile photo. 

Lahat ng final submissions isa short film category ay mayroong minimum runtime na 20 minutes at maximum runtime na 30 minutes. Lahat naman ng feature film submissions ay kailangang 90 minutes long.

Interested participants may email [email protected] to receive the materials necessary to apply for the grant. All applications must be emailed back on or before October 27, 2023.
