Rebelde Community
Rebelde is a diverse community of aspiring filmmakers from different parts of the country, which is founded by J.E. Tiglao, a young, independent filmmaker based in the Philippines. Together with his comrades, they made films that have showcased in Cinemalaya, Gawad Urian, and other film festivals abroad. Last year, they made their first feature film, Metamorphosis, the first Filipino intersex film and bagged most of the awards at the Cinema One Originals.
