Digital Media Production a means of self-expression

“Digital media serves as a vehicle of communication. Nowadays, young Filipinos are already capable of making their own videos. But then, this use of digital media could lead to distorted values and commercialism.” — Nick Lizaso, multi-awarded television and stage director

Cellphones, video cameras and computers make it so easy to make a video nowadays.

Let’s face it. We have our own share of videos uploaded in our YouTube or Friendster accounts. We’ve enjoyed editing outputs and posted them over the Internet.

Indi (short for independent film) had also occupied a niche in the market. Cinemalaya, for example, has empowered young filmmakers to produce movies at a lower cost.

Digital Media Production has become a means of self-expression.

Thus, multi-awarded stage, TV and film director-educator Nick Lizaso and his team under Asian Environmental Resource Center (AERC) in a press conference held last October 20 at the Cebu Midtown Hotel, Nick Lizaso explained the current status of the Philippine film industry.

“The age of digital media has provided us a vehicle of communication. Nowadays, young Filipinos are already capable of making their own videos. But then, this use of digital media could lead to distorted values and commercialism,” he stressed.
