Based on the stories of how the Sun and Moon separated (Tiruray and Tagalog versions) and Filipino deities, this short film follows Tala as she navigates through her newfound ability to see into the near future while helping Rizé, a life coach, get out of debt. For this film, I reimagined the stories and lives of Filipino deities in the present day, specifically Tala, the goddess of stars and Mayari, the goddess of the moon, along with prominent Filipino figures such as José Rizal.

This short film was a part of my Capstone and Honors project. I researched about the utilization of Filipino Mythology in present day media as a form of healing from colonization, and along with that research was this short film.

Huge thanks to Sanzo: Sparkling Water for sending drinks for providing their drinks for this short film.
