The Family Tree
"It has been about a month since production for The Family Tree ended, and I've realized we never got to give a proper introduction to one of the main characters, the Bonsai Tree. Also known as Bonnie.
A bonsai tree itself represents so much - healing, patience, balance, beauty, and spirituality. But nature can also be mysterious, haunting, and mischievous.
In the context of the film, Bonnie has been passed down through generations as a symbol of hope and good fortune. Lola passes it down to his son-in-law, Shelton, in hopes he finds tradition and faith.
Just like Lola passes on tradition, I hope to continue to tell more stories through film. Honest, intimate and personal that hold value to pass along through time and @thefamilytreeshortfilm is just the first to be introduced."

This film has taken many different shapes and forms within the past 5 years. What started as an ode to my Tita turned into a tribute to my cousin Stas, who passed away late 2023 due to brain cancer. In many ways, this film reflects my personal life and at times I felt like I was writing things into existence. This thought scared me and stalled me from going further within the filmmaking process for a while, as at the same time I was grieving multiple family members.
Originally this film was supposed to be a horror film, but I've decided to tell the stories of hope instead. "The Family Tree" was my not only my way of grieving, but also a way to explore different layers of the Filipino-American experience fixating on cultural differences and religion. I hope this film helps others with their grieving process and gives them a sense of hope. Mahal kita.
Please share/donate/repost/however you can help to help me make this film. Thank y'all so much. Crowdfunding link in bio 💚

It felt like home to step back on set and direct a music video ❤️ Been too long and I forgot how much joy it brings me. This one was such a fun and special shoot for @khariatari & @rexxliferaj . S/o to everyone for making this possible and truly making this a memorable experience for a future star in Khari. Can't wait for everyone to see.

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
