BUHAY AKTOR: Bibo in MULI

The Making of Muli.
A Rio Cruz Film
Holy Cow Production DLSU


MULI will always have a special spot in my heart being my first short film for a thesis.

I remember when I went back to Manila on the onset of 2015 from my Christmas vacation, I promised myself to give acting a chance. And then I started going to an audition.

I did not intentionally audition for the role of Inigo, but it was an open edition for the graduating class of DLSU, the Producer (Mace), scriptwriter (Marielle) and the director approached if I could read their script before I leave, and so I did.

And a week after I got a call from them asking me to collaborate on their thesis film. Yey!

At the De LaSalle Unviersity for the open audition for thesis film

Script Reading and Meeting with the prod  and these 2 kids  at Fisher Mall where everything was discussed; from TF to logistics and locations of the shoot and the script.

Finally got my script.

And the sequence breakdown

I was having jitters because this is going to be my first time to act with Film students.

Day 1

Excited while waiting for my pick up.

My lifeline in the next 3 days 

A quick stop-over to gas up and dinner

and we have arrived at our destination

Trying to scare the prod, but failed.  Goodnight for Day 2

Good Morning. Early Morning call time.

Great view to resume our filming

3rd Day Shoot in Manila

At 4:00am and trying to stay wide awake. Finally the Director shouted : "It's a Wrap"

My first thesis film experience was all about the fundamentals. Applying everything I learned from the workshop I attended last year. And this keeps me motivated and at the same time get to learn from these people I worked with.
