Wazzup Pilipinas!?

An Upcoming Short Film Inspired By The Emerging Topic Of Cancel Culture 

Upcoming film titled Canceledt, is about a privileged vlogger Rachelle who experiences being “cancelled” online after publicly stating anti-poor sentiments in her recent vlog. She asks for her high school best friend, Katy's support throughout the ordeal, instead, they butt heads as Katy thinks the backlash against Rachelle is warranted. This film aims to start production this year.

The upcoming short film will depict what it is like for someone who has been called out for questionable actions or statements. Nowadays, people say whatever they want without thinking about the implications of it because they believe that they are entitled to "freedom of speech.”

The production team also includes people who believe in the power of breaking free from the usual concepts such as the film’s Producer Cristian Cofino whose previous works include Mga Kwentong Pambata Tuwing Gabi, which won the People’s Choice Award at the 2019 Cinemorayta Film Festival and Laruang Baril, which was nominated for Best Student Short Film at the 2020 Metro Manila Film Festival.
