Bahay (Home) (Short Film) SG / 2022
Cinematographer
What is home? Where is home? A Filipino boy struggles to find his place in Singapore. But even as he begins to fit in and make new friends, his parents plan to move back to the Philippines. Pulled in two ways between his newfound comfort zone with his friends and going back to where he ‘fits in’, the boy begins to question what home should really be, forcing him to make a brave stand before the family falls apart.
