“Kapatid” is a coming-of-age slice-of-life full-length feature film about two young brothers, Arnold and Felix, and their seemingly troublesome relationship as siblings. This short film shows how love can resolve the differences of these brothers and inevitably overcome the tragedy and challenges they're faced with.

Love is the greatest gift one could ever give to another. And this is the message of Kapatid. This is a coming-of-age story that shows how love between two young brothers can surpass any kind of obstacle and hardship as they search for their lost mother.

Being brought up in a loving and nurturing family, I could definitely say that love is the foundation that holds everything together. It strengthens relationships, especially during trying times, and forms an impenetrable “bond” within the family that ultimately inspires and consequently brings about self-actualization.

It is love that brings purpose to our lives and it, inevitably, drives us to do selfless acts for others. This innermost perspective of compassion and sacrifice, whether towards a family member or a stranger, is what I whole-heartedly wish to show and convey to the audience.

I hope that Kapatid and it's simple message of love will reach-out and touch people's hearts and minds in a positive and uplifting way.
