About kilig.

We follow Aurelia, an elderly widowed Filipina living in the UK. Struggling to come to terms with the loss of her husband, Aurelia learns that she is living in a more accepting time. She is reminded of her past, a time where she had kept her feelings towards Hazel secret from the world. I am the director and director of photography for this film. With it being complete, we plan to submit it to festivals across the UK and some international festivals in the Philippines. Follow our journey via our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter!

Check out where we are with the project via the blog!
