Meet Angela Macasieb: Bringing Reel Hope to the Real World
Angela Macasieb, a young filmmaker from the Philippines, embodies the transformative power of Asia Pacific Media’s training programs.
Her journey with APMedia training began when she entered into the LIKHA 2023, APMedia’s annual short film contest.
Lights, Camera, Gospel!
Like many participants in Asia Pacific Media’s workshops, Angela saw LIKHA 2023 as more than just a film festival. It was a calling to use her skills for a higher purpose.
“It’s an opportunity to share the gospel, the wisdom of Proverbs, to a larger audience,” she shares, highlighting the core mission of APMedia training initiatives.
Angela’s short film “Making Ends Meet” (https://bit.ly/4f0pZ55) is a story of a young woman torn between pursuing her dreams and caring for her ailing mother. The film delves into themes of sacrifice, family, and finding one’s true calling.
The Loaves and Fishes of Filmmaking
Angela’s story of resourcefulness in the face of budget constraints reflects the practical skills Asia Pacific Media instills in its trainees. Through community support and creative problem-solving, she completed her project, demonstrating the real-world application of our training.
“Using film as a medium in sharing the gospel is so powerful,” Angela said.
This belief drives Asia Pacific Media’s mission to equip individuals like her with the tools to create impactful, faith-based content that can change lives.
Scripting a Faith-Filled Future
Angela’s plans to produce films showcasing God’s transformative power exemplify the long-term impact of our training programs.
