JT Trinidad, a dynamic filmmaker from Cebu, Philippines, has quickly garnered attention for their poignant storytelling and innovative direction. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of the Philippines Film Institute, JT's work often delves into themes of queerness and the complexities of geographical identity. Their narrative short, "the river that never ends" (2021), not only won Best Southeast Asian Short Film at the Singapore International Film Festival but also made waves with its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival. Collectors are particularly drawn to the film's unique blend of personal narrative and broader cultural commentary, now available for streaming on The Criterion Collection. JT's latest project, "yesterday will always be yesterday" (2023), showcases their evolving style and commitment to exploring transformative spaces within cinema. Anticipation builds as they prepare for the world premiere of "Honey, My Love, So Sweet" at the Locarno Film Festival, a film that promises to resonate with audiences and collectors alike. With accolades like the Ani ng Dangal award and participation in prestigious film incubators, JT's growing catalog is a must-have for any serious physical media collector.
