Private Project

Peksman

It has been more or less ten years since the students of Don Manuel Espiritu Elementary School last experienced a field trip. So when Principal Lady Gagarin announced that it will finally happen this year, all of the students were filled with joy and excitement.

All except four – Xedrix, Allan, Quino, and Ethan.

And even though they come from different motivations, while also having different reasons, the four agreed on one single plan: to stop it. From the move to make a fool of Mang Domeng, the bus driver, to just anything that came out from what their playful minds created, it was made clear, it will be hard for them to counter the powerful. But in spite all this, they remained, believing in one thing:

No one can escape the past.

Director Biography - Dan Eligado

Dedicated and passionate yet a work in progress. I'm still trying to figure myself out since I'm yet to be the better person I want to be through the cultivation of creativity and knowledge, with the power of liberalism towards personal growth and influence.
