Sam Villa-Real

Overview

Sam Villa-Real believes editing is writing. A video editor by trade but a storyteller by passion, she works on projects in both local and international spaces. Her most recent short Hm Hm Mhm (2022) with Kim Timan won the Special Jury Prize at the 2023 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. Their 2020 short film Noontime Drama is a 2021 Gawad Urian Best Short Film nominee that has also gained recognition in different film festivals outside the archipelago. Her ‘weirdo na may puso’ (unhinged with heart) way of storytelling draws inspiration from visual art that transcend the boundaries of the medium, while finding comfort in her favorite films as a shelter from everyday storms.
