Who This Is For?

This is for organizations doing quiet, faithful, and often unseen work.

I work with:

Christian ministries and mission organizations
Humanitarian and community-based NGOs
Advocacy groups focused on long-term impact
Teams who need strong visual storytelling

If your work exists to serve people rather than promote a brand, we’re likely aligned.

What I Do.

Short Documentary

3 - 5 minute films designed for fundraising, awareness, partner updates, or digital platforms.

Full Documentary

10 - 20+ minute In-depth films for legacy projects, anniversaries, advocacy, or archival purposes.

Photojournalism

Documentary photography that captures real moments as they happen.

How Do I work?

I Listen First.

Every project starts with listening. I take time to understand your mission, the people you serve, and the environment you work in before shaping the story and filming.

I Practice Ethical Storytelling.

Stories are handled with respect and responsibility. It's slow but intentional. No forced emotion, no exaggeration, and no reducing people to problems. Relationship always comes first.

Lean & Intentional Production.

I usually work alone or with a producer, keeping the process simple and unobtrusive. This allows me to move gently in sensitive spaces and stay focused on people rather than gear. If a project requires a larger team, I carefully handpick collaborators who understand documentary work and share the same respect for the communities involved.

Collaborative Review.

You’re involved throughout the process. Alignment matters, and nothing is released without shared understanding and approval.

Faith & Values.

My work is shaped by the belief that every person carries inherent God-given worth and everyone has a story to tell.

I partner with faith-based and humanitarian organizations who value humility, compassion, and respect for human dignity.

Experience & Past Work.

At the start of my filmmaking journey in early 2025, I was given the opportunity to direct and film a long-form documentary in Pluto, Balutakay, Philippines, in collaboration with organizations working across Southeast Asia. That project got me interested to pursue documentary work.

I later collaborated with ANI Philippines and FCCDI on a short documentary, working closely with their teams to interview students, faculty, and families.

I’ve also been blessed to train in Thailand at Medialight Network, focusing on photojournalism, documentary storytelling, and content creation. That season sharpened both my technical skills and my understanding of ethical storytelling in cross-cultural and mission-driven contexts.

My experience includes:

• On-location filming in sensitive or remote environments

• Working alongside NGOs, ministries, and community leaders

• Documentary filmmaking and photojournalism

Your Questions, Answered.

How much does a documentary project cost?

Every project is different. Budgets depend on scope, length, location, access, and timeline. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing, especially for non-profits. We start with the story and the purpose, then shape a realistic approach around your resources.

What if we’re not sure what story to tell yet?

That’s completely okay. Many organizations come in with a sense that something needs to be documented but aren’t sure how. Part of my role is helping you discern the story together through conversation and listening.

How long does a project usually take?

Timelines vary depending on complexity and access. Short documentaries may take a few weeks from planning to delivery, while long-form projects take longer to develop thoughtfully. We’ll discuss this clearly before moving forward.

Do you work with limited or non-profit budgets?

Yes. I understand the financial realities NGOs face. I’m open to flexible scopes, phased productions, and creative approaches that make the most of what’s available without compromising integrity.

Can the film be used for fundraising, reports, or grants?

Absolutely. Films and photographs are created with practical use in mind, whether for fundraising, partner updates, grant applications, internal reports, or archival purposes.

Can you travel for projects?

Yes. I’m based in Davao, Philippines, and I can work across Mindanao, Southeast Asia, and on select international projects depending on scope and alignment.

Do you work alone or with a team?

From concept to final delivery, I usually handle the work myself. When a project requires a larger crew, I carefully assemble a small team aligned with the values, sensitivity, and care required for documentary work.

Do you have a story to tell?

If you’re exploring a documentary or simply considering how film might support your mission, I’d be glad to listen.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation. :)
