Production house Arcade Film Factory Philippines signs four new directors to their roster
Campaign Brief Asia’s THE WORK 2022 Philippine Production House of the Year and #2 Asia Production Company of the Year, Arcade Film Factory, has formally welcomed four new directors into their roster of in-house directors, almost doubling their directorial firepower to nine.
In 2021, the five founding Arcade directors introduced their inaugural apprenticeship program which received over 200 reels and applications from both fresh graduates and experienced talents alike. After combing through hundreds of applications, the co-founders only accepted four final apprentices or less than 3% of applications.
The four rising talents, Andrei Julitan (a.k.a. Super Bayani), Gab Gucci, Jaig De Guzman, and Jason Max, all joined Arcade Film Factory after completing an apprenticeship program with the production house. This program combined both practical immersion and classroom learning prepared by the five founding directors of Arcade Film Factory: Mike Talampas, Nick Santiago, Jeorge Agcaoili, Richard Ang and Marius Talampas.
All four new directors are bringing in unique points of view that widen the directorial capabilities of Arcade Film Factory as a production house.
