Jay Borilla
Jay Borilla is a 3rd year student filmmaker from the UP Film Institute of UP Diliman. Born on May 20, 2003 under a conservative and fanatically religious household, he aims to leverage filmmaking to break free from the stifling conditions of his upbringing and create films that are as liberated as how he aspires himself, and other suppressed individuals and communities, to be. Since 2023, he has worked on numerous film productions, including his own and with fellow student filmmakers. His films highlight the potential of low-budget experimental films to foster larger-than-life stories that break free from the conventional constraints of standard narrative films. His own notable works include milk (2024) and genesis (2024), wherein the latter won the Best Experimental Film award in Far Eastern University’s Sinepiyu 17 Film Festival. Both of which delve into a multiplicity of intrapersonal spaces depicted through very strong themes, visuals and editing, and soundscapes.
