Puregold CinePanalo student filmmakers get extra boost with P100K grant from MFP Rentals

Tweet

The Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival just announced another groundbreaking partnership set to support its student filmmakers participating in the Festival’s Student Shorts category.

MFP Rentals, an upstart local audiovisual equipment rental services company, has generously thrown its support behind the CinePanalo Film Festival, pledging to sponsor equipment rental services worth a total minimum value of PhP 100,000 free to use for all 25 student short film entries.

Puregold CinePanalo teams up with MFP Rentals to grant student filmmakers PhP 100,000 worth of free audiovisual equipment rentals. (L-R Puregold CinePanalo Festival Director Chris Cahilig, Puregold Senior Marketing Manager Ivy Hayagan Piedad, MFP Rentals Tech Director Tristan Cua, MFP Rentals Co-Producer Zsara Laxamana)

The partnership is a first for the CinePanalo Film Festival, as the inaugural event did not feature any equipment subsidy for the participants in the student shorts category. Now, through the partnership between Puregold and MFP Rentals, the 25 student filmmakers no longer need to shell out a part of their P150,000 grant on equipment, and can, instead allocate their funding towards perfecting their cinematic vision.

On this collaboration, Puregold Senior Marketing Manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad shared the company's gratitude for allowing student filmmakers to give their all without worrying about equipment funding.

“The student shorts category of the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival was designed to give an opportunity to passionate young directors itching for a chance to show the world their panalo stories. Thanks to MFP Rentals, our student filmmakers now have significantly more resources to make that happen,” she said.

Meanwhile, for MFP Rentals owner Mark Tristan Cua, the lease of the audiovisual equipment was a no-brainer given the advocacy of the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival in supporting the dreams of student filmmakers.

“After seeing the success of last year’s Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival, we knew that MFP Rentals needed to be a part of the next one, and we believed that supporting the entrants of the students’ shorts category was the best way we could lend a hand,” said Cua.

MFP Rentals' partnership enables CinePanalo student directors to focus their P150,000 grant on perfecting their cinematic vision.

The CinePanalo Film Festival empowers 25 student filmmakers from universities nationwide with equipment and production support, with the help of MFP Rentals.

For Cua, the opportunity to help aspiring filmmakers has always been his personal goal. Outside of MFP Rentals, Cua is the proud founder of the Mobile Filmmaking Philippines online community, where filmmakers can learn from each othe, allowing young and aspiring filmmakers to find affordable equipment services.

“It’s difficult to be a student filmmaker in the Philippines, and having more space in one’s budget can go a long way” added Cua. “We hope that through MFP Rentals’ assistance, these talented young artists can focus their budget on making the film of their dreams, instead of spending a lot of money just on equipment.”

In addition to the equipment rentals, MFP Rentals will also engage in a technical discussion with the Director of Photography of each student short film prior to the submission of any technical equipment requests. This serves the purpose of allowing MFP Rentals to tailor its assistance to the unique creative vision of each student short film project.

Puregold recently announced the list of 25 student filmmakers who will be receiving the P150,000 production grant, as well as the assistance by MFP Rentals and all of Puregold’s other official production partners for the CinePanalo Film Festival. The upcoming film festival will feature student filmmakers from universities across the country including the University of the Philippines, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, University of Caloocan City, and even universities from outside Metro Manila like Central Philippine University, Dalubhasaan ng Lungsod ng San Pablo, the University of San Carlos, and Faith Colleges, and National University Laguna.

The Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival is set to begin in March of 2025, with the Awards Night set for March 19, 2025. Each of the student short filmmakers will have a chance to compete for the festival’s top awards including the awards for best film and best director.

DEWALT Panel Discussion on Environmental Preservation, Beautification, and Sustainability led by DEWALT Vice President for Southeast Asia Kevin Lowe (2nd from right), DEWALT Philippines Product Manager for Outdoor Tools Joanne Mercado (extreme right), Eco-Architect James Hao (extreme left) and Architect Richard Manlulu Garcia (second from left).

DEWALT, a global leader in power tools, proudly unveiled its latest line of outdoor power tools at an exclusive launch event held on October 23, 2024, at the Grand Ballroom, City of Dreams in Manila. This launch marks DEWALT's ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, catering to the rigorous demands of professionals and industries while also appealing to dedicated DIY enthusiasts.

The event brought together industry professionals, influencers, retail partners, dealers, and key members of the United Architects of the Philippines. Attendees experienced firsthand the groundbreaking features of DEWALT’s new outdoor power tools. The tools showcase advanced technology, including energy-efficient motors, ergonomic designs, and durable materials, all crafted with a focus on reducing environmental impact.

In his keynote address, Kevin Lowe, Vice President for Southeast Asia at DEWALT, emphasized the significance of this launch: “Today, we celebrate not only our 100 years of excellence but also our commitment to sustainability. With our advanced cordless technology, we empower our customers to reduce their carbon footprints without compromising on performance and reliability.”

Joanne Mercado, Product Manager for DEWALT Outdoor in the Philippines, showcased the innovative range of cordless outdoor tools designed to meet the diverse needs of Filipino consumers. This new product lineup includes powerful pressure washers, lawn mowers, and trimmers engineered for efficiency and ease of use. Mercado emphasized the versatility of the tools, which are available in both 20V and 60V options.

“DEWALT is committed to providing sustainable solutions that enhance the user experience,” Mercado stated. “Our cordless outdoor tools eliminate harmful gas emissions and prioritize user well being and comfort, all while maintaining the high standards of quality and performance our customers expect.”

Mercado elaborated that end user-driven innovation inspires DEWALT to redefine what’s possible with the latest power tools that enhance efficiency and boost productivity. Consumers get the most out of their tools especially with Dewalt’s proprietary battery technologies such as DEWALT XR® or eXtreme Runtime & eXtreme Reliability, Flexvolt® battery featuring DEWALT’s patented technology that automatically switch voltages when you change your tools and the latest battery technology available in the country DEWALT Powerstack™ battery that utilizes breakthrough pouch cell battery, instead of traditional cylindrical cells. This latest battery technology generates less heat and resistance, resulting in batteries that deliver more power for longer, and have a longer lifespan.

Reflecting on the Company’s confidence on its line of products, Mercado stated that DEWALT has the longest (3 year) warranty protection for all its power tools backed by the SERBILIS program. With SERBILIS, pickup and delivery of tools for repair are handled directly with customers in partnership with DHL.

The event also featured a panel discussion on Environmental Preservation, Beautification, and Sustainability, led by industry leaders, including eco architect James Hao and architect Richard Manlulu Garcia.

James Hao is a recognized Eco Architect known for his sustainable designs and innovative projects featured in various media outlets. He holds a Master’s degree in City Design & Social Science from the London School of Economics.

Richard Manlulu Garcia is a co-founder of GARCIA LEE ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN (GALA Architecture), specializing in mixed-use developments. As a Green Architect, he has contributed to multiple LEED-certified projects and has held several leadership positions in the United Architects of the Philippines.

Jao underscored the importance of harmony between function, design, and the environment. He noted that there is a growing demand from companies and homeowners to address the need to protect people and planet through the use of sustainable materials and tools that support green architecture.

On the topic of profitability versus sustainability, Garcia emphasized that sustainable architecture adds value to real estate and that long-term financial gains are partly the result of cost-effective measures ingrained in green design. Energy-efficient buildings have lower operational costs, reduce utility bills, and increase savings for property managers, occupants, and owners.

Lowe highlighted DEWALT’s commitment to listening to users. With its end user obsession, DEWALT continues to transform the industry by proactively looking ahead to meet the needs of the trades for sustainable and cutting-edge power tools that offer greater efficiency and productivity, and contribute to a greener future.

Mercado addressed concerns on affordability. Her advice was to start small when investing in outdoor power tools and to consider the long-term value and extended lifespan of the tools.

As part of the Outdoor Power Revolution, DEWALT invites customers and industry partners to join its commitment to a greener future. This launch serves as a testament to DEWALT's ongoing efforts to empower individuals with cutting-edge tools while prioritizing environmental sustainability.
