REVIEWS
"Its writing, its featured performances, the score and audio design all push the boundary for Proudly Filipino productions. I hope Sa Anino and Aplumisa Studios lead by example in paving the way for new age Filipino indie productions to showcase Filipino talent and Proudly Filipino stories without leaning or pandering into stereotypes and outdated tropes."Francine Padilla
"...were able to manage to bridge an impossible language barrier through the seamless bilingual scripting, and allowed a non-native speaker like myself to get a firm grasp on what was going on regarding the dialogue and general writing...nothing was over the top for the sake of the thrill, all of this felt real and grounded."Bryce Thompson
"Just listening to the performances, sound design, and following the story, you can tell that the director knew so much about how they wanted the end product to look (in this case, sound) like. Listening to the actors performances, you can genuinely tell that they had received very good direction! Paired with the writing and the mix of the music and ambience, the production felt very well put together and very well done!"Abigail Kim
"Sa Anino presents an intriguing plot, interweaving a story of underhanded political affairs with the supernatural horrors that color our Filipino folklore...such a premise already grabs you by the hook and leads you down a suspenseful narrative, begging the question: what monsters should we truly fear?"Katrina Librea
"I am personally a fan of Filipino-styled writing, and I think Sa Anino showcases this beautifully. The dramatic tensions between characters sound straight out of Dirty Linens and Pulang Araw (both modern Filipino dramas that revamp and renew the “teledrama” formula for new generations) without overstaying its welcome. The nightmare sequences are haunting and chilling, opting to ease you into the horror... There is a bit of lightheartedness between acts to provide just enough breathing room before walking you into another escalation. Its writing is comfortable in letting your imagination run free in the stage it has set, rather than having the characters tell us what’s going on."Francine Padilla
"The tension builds throughout the entire production with the strongest soundtrack I’ve heard in such a long time. It isn’t music, it feels like auditory representations of what Teresa is feeling at any given moment. The pressure, the anxiety, the fear, and more. What Teresa feels becomes the soundtrack, and all we can do is stay close to her with the same level of dread and fear."Bryce Thompson
