Preview and crowdfunding for House in Pieces, a documentary on the aftermath of the war in Marawi City, Philippines

[manueldomes]

Hi all,

Wanted to share some work from a current project here, most of which was shot on a GH5 in a run-and-gun documentary setting. 

When war between ISIS-affiliated extremists and Philippine government forces broke out in Marawi City in May 2017, most of the city’s residents expected the fighting to subside soon. Instead, the battle over Marawi lasted five months and forced half a million people to flee, with most of the evacuees seeking shelter in neighboring cities.

During the height of the crisis last year, we began working on the independent full-length documentary House in Pieces, zeroing in on the stories of some of the scores of people that were internally displaced due to the fighting.

Watch the teaser and get more information at the crowdfunding page for the project here (and do feel free to share it if you like our project, of course): https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/house-in-pieces-documentary-film-community/

Looking forward to comments and questions!

Manuel
