Robert Rodriguez(LV)
- Producer
Robert 'Bobby' Rodriguez's first experience in the film industry was working on a university-based project entitled 'Bayhon (Mold)'. He received a grant to write and direct a short film entitled 'Sinda' ("The Exchange'), a story based on a Philippine folklore on enchanted beings. Thereafter, he was involved in film production as an actor. One of the film projects he did was a film thesis for a student in directing at the International Academy of Film and Television (Cebu City, Philippines). He was also cast for one episode in a TV drama entitled 'Maalaala Mo Kaya (Do You Remember)?' Years later, he was given an opportunity to produce a passion project entitled "Land From God" which is a full-length documentary about the indigenous people of a famous destination island in the Philippines called Boracay. The film received its world premiere status at the Busan International Film Festival in 2018. The following year, Bobby Rodriguez produced another full-length creative documentary for a national documentary competition in the Philippines. This documentary tackled the little known part of the history of the Philippines during the Spanish Revolution and it highlights stories on shamanism, amulets and gender. In 2020, Robert Rodriguez has qualified for the prestigious Busan Asian Film School where he is part of the fellowship program on Film Producing.
