‘ALPAS’ Breaks Free in its Official Screening

Savor the last! The Rizalian-made film Alpas, concluding the SHS day, took its official screening at the main quadrangle and Official JRU Facebook page last February 17 during the university’s week in its 104th-anniversary celebration.

A catalyst for self-development and friendship, Alpas embarked on the journey of a driven screenwriter that gets herself caught between the pages of her creation.

Alpas is a story of an aspiring screenwriter, Lily, who gets transported into her masterpiece, not realizing her purpose is to see the bigger picture. Struggling with her collective insecurities and doubts about her peers, she finds herself in a bind with her inner self and a past full of regrets. As she enters a familiar realm, she will traverse never-ending events as time seems indefinite. The light looks far as she battles her dilemmas as breaking free becomes her biggest enemy.

The film’s creators and contributors came from the different strands of SHS students, in which their efforts were acknowledged by its launching, encompassing the school’s quadrangle and its online premiere with thousands of viewers.

Viewers can still watch ‘Alpas’ on JRU’s official Facebook page.
