Precious Pelikula
Project Brief
In April 2016, Precious Pages
Corp., the publisher of Precious Hearts Romances, called on amateur filmmakers
nationwide to participate in this momentous project. A total of 40 applicants,
from students to film enthusiasts sent in their portfolio in the hopes of being
able to enter the competition.
Ten applicants were shortlisted.
They chose from a selection of PHR titles on which they formulated a film
concept as out-of-the-box as they could while still maintaining the romantic
personality that Precious Hearts Romances has embodied. From their pitches,
five applicants and a “wild card” were granted a much-coveted spot. They each
were given P15,000 to produce their respective films by August 12, 2016.
