Our Commitment
As a team of diverse backgrounds, we strive to tell marginalized history through an authentic and empowering lens. Seniors at Chapman University, these crew members have produced numerous short films for underrepresented voices including LGBTQIA+ film 'Heart Candies Taste Like Chalk' and female-centered 'Diversity Hire'.

Director
"East Did Meet West is a love letter to my Ilocano heritage, an homage to my parents, and a message of gratitude to those who have fought for a better future for me and countless others."
Lexi Berganio
Producer
"As half-Filipina and half-white, all I want is to normalize interracial couples within the romance genre. This short film tells the story not just of Salvador and Marjorie, but of any couple ever denied recognition for their love."
Alonzo Labiosa
Director of Photography
"The authentic core of East Did Meet West and the unrelenting determination of its crew will foster a profound depiction of love that will be deeply resonant with many viewers."
