Little Lights: MMFF Animation Category Finalist

Manila, Philippines – “Little Lights” is a story about being born with a lack of light. More importantly, it shows what happens when we, as individuals and as a community, discover what it means to be empowered by our differences and similarities.

This is a story of a firefly named Charlie, a physically weak but strong-minded firefly forced to face his fears. Charlie struggles, not only to overcome his fear of darkness, but also to find his place in his discord-riddled firefly community. But, in spite of his own weaknesses and the indifference of his fellow fireflies, Charlie sets out to become stronger, eventually leading his loved ones to safety when danger arises.

Told using a combination of unique visual and musical artistry, Little Lights aims to inspire others to find their own light and to not be afraid to share it.

Little Lights is a passion project that started with two artists, Rivelle Mallari and Reginald Espiritu, who envisioned telling a story by combining the art of animation and a live musical scoring.

Now, the Animation film is made available again to be seen in selected theatre this December.

NAUGHTY OR NICE: A Kickoff to Christmas with BAMBOO

Manila, Philippines --- Remember last Christmas when we celebrated at Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila a white Christmas with Bamboo? Are you ready to spend Christmas with the one and only "Prince of Rock", Bamboo again? but this time with a different twist!

This Christmas we are calling it "The Kickoff to Christmas, Naughty or Nice Christmas with Bamboo". The title was conceptualized by Coach Bamboo himself. This year it will be bigger, grander and lots of special surprises.

 Bamboo also released his album entitled "Bless this Mess" under Polyeast Records. And when it comes to his music, he's like a recharged battery, very far from running empty! "I just enjoy what I do. I can't see myself doing that (music), going into that half-in, then half into whatever. The biggest joy for myself is just creating an album, that's the best part of what I do, falling into the process, finding myself, finding an album, collaborate with other musicians. I'm happy where I'm at --- very happy. Music is what I love to do, it is who I am."

 Besides, he's still not that comfortable watching himself on TV, although it's a different story on The Voice because "that's just me, no acting, trying to put the real into reality TV. I'm just in the moment, no script, so it's easy for me to do that, but if i have work on a scene, internalize, or stuff like that, I don't know."





 

 That should explain why Bamboo isn't into narrative music videos, which are the trend these days. Asked why the long-standing preference for stripped-down, performance based videos over storytelling/conceptual music videos, he explained, "I'm pretty much a fan of that (no storylines). I just want to capture the moment. if there's acting, it's very minor... pero I believe in the (performance-based) video. I'm old school that way. The best way to sort of push the song is to perform it."

That is why this Christmas season, a special treat to all music lovers out there who wants to sing their hearts out and most especially to the adoring fans of the one and only Bamboo Manalac. See him in a different light in his Christmas concert with an orchestra on December 7, 2015, 8PM at Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila.
