Biography

Gay and a native of the Manila slums, Cristal is no stranger to the harsh realities of life. The human experience and its many complexities triumph through his stories.

He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Digital Filmmaking at the School of Design and Arts of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde as a scholar. His thesis film 'The Appointed Son of God' had its world premiere and competed at the 20th GwangHwaMun International Short Film Festival (Originally known as Asiana International Short Film Festival).

His notable short film 'PLUS.MINUS.' is about an aspiring drag queen and his lover who doesn't belong and doesn't particularly want to belong, and yet are inevitably sad and not belonging. It was nominated for Best Short Film in the Philippines' oldest award-giving body for cinema, the 68th Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS Awards), and was acquired by a world-spanning LGBTQ+ streaming platform from Asia, GagaOOLala.

His in-development short film '#bagets rider FREE HD' is an official selection at the 45th Drama International Short Film Festival's pitching lab and forum, Greece, as well as the Interfilm Berlin - 38th International Short Film Festival Berlin's Script Pitch competition, and the Script Lab program, Germany. This project was developed within the framework of Globe's GoWatch Film Lab and The Greenlight Pitch Mentorship and Forum, PH, and Sundance Institute's Sundance Collab Script Challenge, U.S.

It's a story about a very disturbing social media phenomenon as well as the adversity of today's Filipino youth-how it is like to desire to be seen and unseen and to be devoured digitally and in the real world.
