Blank Frame: Thomasian Filmmakers Champion Truth, Humanity, and Visual Storytelling in Upcoming Short Film

Wazzup Pilipinas!? 

Every story begins with a space waiting to be seen. This belief stands at the heart of Blank Frame, a production house founded by twelve Communication majors from the University of Santo Tomas. United as academic, athletic, and city scholars, and as aspiring filmmakers and storytellers, the team is driven by the pursuit of identity, meaning, and visual truth.

Blank Frame aims to create films that speak the truth and mirror real human experiences. With a storytelling style rooted in simplicity, the group focuses on narratives often overlooked: struggles, social issues, and identity crises that shape everyday life. Their guiding vision is “building a future where truth in film awakens empathy, challenges comfort, and inspires people to see and change the world with open eyes.”

The team is currently producing a short film for their Introduction to Film course.

Following the footsteps of last year’s senior film batches, whose works premiered on iWantTFC and were featured at Sine Reel, the annual filmmaking festival of the UST Communication Arts Students’ Association, Blank Frame seeks to go beyond the university walls. The group aims to submit their work to film competitions and share it through various streaming platforms and media outlets to reach a wider audience.

Their upcoming film, Walang Katiyakan, premieres in January 2026 and explores a world where a person’s worth is measured by a glowing mark on their skin. The story follows Eloy, a young man born without a mark, who must navigate a society that refuses to see value in him.

In his search for meaning in a world governed by time and expectations, Eloy discovers connections that endure beyond any mark and a truth no light can erase.

Blank Frame remains committed to producing films that tell the truth, touch hearts, and stay with audiences long after the screen fades. With their debut project, the team hopes to spark conversations, uplift untold stories, and remind viewers of the humanity found in every

frame.
