Arapaap

ARAPAAP --> Ilocano term for Pangarap

This is the first short film that I did. At the same time, this is the first film making contest that I joined. We had fun doing this short film, in spite of discouragements, disappointments...still God made a way for us to finish this one.

Finally January 30,2012.. awards night.. hoping to get an award because we are confident enough that we will win.. but unfortunately..we didn't.. we are surprised..very surprised about the result.. but still, it is God's will.. Even though we didn't won, I am glad that there are people who approach us after the awarding..people who appreciate the story and said it was beautiful-- Arapaap must be the best story.. (but there is no best story award).. but I am happy with the success of the film :)

While making the film, we learned a lot of things.. patience, time management, cooperation, to make your mind function even though how tired you are, laugh so hard, enjoy what you are doing and most of all TRUST.. TRUST THE LORD with all your heart.. this film will not be made possible if God didn't helped us.. the story came from Him.. He use His people to help us finish this one and most of all.. He is the one who gave us strength and wisdom while making this film... that's why I really thank Him for being with us... we are VICTORIOUS because of GOD :)
:
this is just the beginning of my dream... to make a film that will inspire people.. I really want to be a director someday or anything that connects in film making.. hoping and praying for God's will.. :)


short background about the story or how we came up with the story of Arapaap..
the theme was (portrayal of Filipino life revealing the hopes and dreams of every Juan dela Cruz towards success and fulfillment as they contribute to the society)

the inspiration in making the story of Arapaap was based on reality and experience as well.. As a student who has a dream, money or our status in our life must not be a hindrance in reaching our goals... it may appear impossible for some but if you will put your trust to the one who made us --God, there will never be an impossible word... "Everything is possible for Him who believes" as it is said to Mark 9:23... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! just trust God.. Don't worry, He will use a lot of people just to reach you.. God can see you, God can hear you, God loves you :D


may you be blessed with this one...
just continue dreaming..
God knows what's best for you :D
