TL;DR: Documentary filmmaker / editor / visual construction worker
About
Manuel works on projects at the intersections of conflict, environment, migration, and socio-ecological change. During his involvement with conflict transformation projects in the Philippines, Manuel helped to develop collective formats with local filmmakers to spark dialogue and reconciliation through films.
Since his debut documentary film A House in Pieces (co-directed with Jean Claire Dy), Manuel has dedicated myself fully to filmmaking. His second feature documentary as an editor is This is our Everything (directed by Frederik Subei) on the decisive resistance against illegal logging by Northern Brazils Guajajara people.
