Samsung celebrated Filipino filmmakers at the first-ever Untold Stories at Night, a festival that screened short films shot using the Galaxy S22 Ultra, last June 17 at the BGC Arts Center in Taguig.
Samsung tapped five of the country’s top directors and #TeamGalaxy Ambassadors to create original short films, which ranged from romance to science fiction.
Pepe Diokno’s “Siargao: Day and Night” is a story of resiliency and triumph after Typhoon Odette. The beautiful island recovers from the typhoon, bringing life and nightlife back to the town. “Sinag” tells the story of Rafael, who dreams of performing in his town’s only bar.
He decides to defy all rules and performs against all odds. The film is directed by Noel Escondo and Tristan Cua of Mobile Filmmaking Philippines.
In Mikhael Red’s “Lumina,” the titular character is a young girl who books a ride to another galaxy when she is pursued by darkness. Lastly, Samantha Lee’s “It” was a love story that follows star-crossed lovers who get a second chance at love under mysterious circumstances.
Samsung broke the rules of content creation with Nightography, which brings in more light, motion, and detail, even in low-light situations. This technology, along with the other innovative features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, allows aspiring filmmakers to create movie magic with just a smartphone.
