AN ONGOING LIST OF THINGS FOUND IN THE LIBRARY BOOK DROP, USUALLY BEING USED AS BOOKMARKS
WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY KAYLA ABUDA GALANG
KAYLA ABUDA GALANG’S LATEST SHORT STARS RULITOS AS A LIBRARIAN WITH A PENCHANT FOR DAYDREAMING, PRONE TO MELANCHOLY, WHO PASSES THE TIME BY CHRONICLING THE TREASURES HE FINDS AMONGST THE RETURNED BOOKS OF THE DAY. THE MORE OBJECTS HE SPOTLIGHTS, THE MORE HIS MIND WANDERS…
GALANG FIRST APPROACHED RULITOS WITH THE PROJECT AFTER SEEING HIM MAKE A FEW CAMEOS AND VOICEOVER APPEARANCES IN SMALLER FILM PROJECTS AROUND THE CITY. SHE SAID SHE HEARD HIS VOICE AS SHE FINALIZED THE SCRIPT AND WAS DRAWN TO HIS “SAD-CLOWN” VIBE, WHICH HE WASN’T SURE HOW TO TAKE AT FIRST.
REGARDLESS, HE TOOK THE PROJECT TO HEART, PREPPED LIKE CRAZY, AND IGNORED HOW INTIMIDATED HE WAS BY WORKING WITH THE RISING DIRECTOR, BEST KNOWN FOR HER PRIOR SHORT, “WHEN YOU LEFT ME ON THAT BOULEVARD.” WHICH WAS SCREENED IN OVER 50+ FILM FESTIVALS, HIGHLIGHTED BY ITS DEBUT AT THE 2023 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, WHERE IT WON THE GRAND JURY PRIZE.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO CATCH A SCREENING, BUT FOR NOW, ENJOY THESE BEHIND-THE-SCENES PICTURES FROM THE SHOOT!
