Learning from the pros
Manila Bulletin
|October 10, 2025
The 7th Sinag Maynila Independent Film Festival has come to a resounding close, yet the echoes of inspiration linger in the air.
-
The remarkable directors - Joel Lamangan, Topel Lee, GB Sampedro, and Kevin Piamonte - who showcased their work, have left us with a powerful message: young filmmakers have the potential to chase their dreams with relentless passion and creativity.
Let us carry their words with us, igniting our own ambitions as we look towards the future of storytelling in cinema.
During the grand launch of the annual film festival, Director Joel encouraged young filmmakers to embrace their creative journeys without fear and to learn from their mistakes.
"Don't be afraid to make mistakes. And learn from your mistakes. If you make mistakes and continue to make them, you are simply being careless. You should study your mistakes and correct them," said the award-winning director when asked for advice to student filmmakers.
He added, "I have made many mistakes. But I was not afraid. I made many mistakes, and I am not perfect, but I have learned from them. If you are only scared, nothing will happen. Whatever you think you are going to do, pursue it. See how far you can go."
