Trip through Manila is a short film depicting the busy lifestyle of residents in an informal settlement in the Philippines. The film takes the viewer on a journey using visual and audio to induce a feeling of clarity to confusion and disorientation before returning back to clarity. It was inspired by visiting informal settlements where the wealthy live alongside the impoverished and the contrast of living side by side. I wanted the viewer to feel the same experience as I did from entering these settlements from the outside surrounding city but all within the boundaries of the community.
