The Resurrection! =p

After more than 3 years of hibernation, I'm reviving this rusty blog.

As my official film blog Film Works (www.riannehillsoriano.com/blog) focuses on film reviews, my film and other production works, and other film-related information, I'm making this as a supplement to it - focusing on film festivals, call for entries, and more detailed information about Filipino and international films (mainstream and independent) and other production-related works.

Let's see if it works! =p

Hopefully, this blog will be a good, accessible site for those who are asking me help and inquiries about filmmaking, information about international films (from Hollywood, Bollywood, and other film industries around the world), film-related press releases, and a good resource blog for those looking for film festivals to submit their films - especially to the new and aspiring Filipino filmmakers of our times.
