the company looks to help student filmmakers fulfill their aspirations and get a jump-start in their careers.Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc., affirms the company’s intention to reach out to the youth through Puregold CinePanalo. “Education, complemented with hands-on experience, opens doors for our youth,” he says. “We are proud to extend this support to students seeking to tell their stories.
Puregold is currently on the lookout for twenty-five talented and motivated student directors to become a part of the inaugural festival. The select few will each be given a grant of P100,000 to fund their short film production.Filmmaking remains one of the most financially challenging among all creative pursuits. The costs can be daunting: location and equipment rentals, plus the professional fees of the cast and crew. It’s money that can be hard to find.
It is thus a struggle for aspiring filmmakers to raise the resources they need for their art. Lack of funds likewise deter many film students from completing their final thesis projects.It is a matter that Vincent totally understands. He discloses that most filmfest applicants cite their final thesis as their main motivation for taking on the challenge. “There’s a whole host of potential talents out there just waiting for a break,” he says.
The completed student shorts will be screened alongside five feature-length films at Gateway Cinemas from March 8 to 10, 2024. The shorts will also be posted across Puregold’s official social media pages such as YouTube and TikTok.to receive the materials needed to apply. All applications and requirements must be emailed back by October 27. A shortlist of selected directors is expected to drop by November 6.

Was the Filipino worth dying for?WHY did many people like me demonstrate after the assassination of Sen. Ninoy Aquino 40 years ago? Many had much more at stake and more to lose than 24-year-old me who had nothing to gain, yet we did so. I assume that, like me, they felt two overwhelming emotions that logic, calculation and self-interest could not overcome. Shame for having been collectively cowed and cowardly when many rights we at least ostensibly had were taken away long beyond any reasonable justification for it. Let's not forget that, to Senator Aquino's chagrin, the people did not rise when martial law was declared 51 years ago, and it was actually very popular at the start. Collectively, many felt the pre-1972 system was falling apart and minus false nostalgia for that era (second richest in Asia when reality was with $200 GDP per capita, we were for a time merely among the less poor). We were already falling behind our neighbors economically (worse was to come, alas). Add student unrest and social tensions, and many felt we needed discipline, order and effective government. Don't think pre-martial law governance was anything exemplary. Think traffic is bad today? Before martial law, there were jeepneys on EDSA and all main roads. Many attempts to remove them failed and only martial law enabled them to be moved to secondary roads.
