More than winning Oscars




Another blessing.
Another feat.
Another step towards our big dream.

Rainbow, along with other shorts from Letran, 
once again made its Alma Mater proud.

Cultural Center of the Philippines, for twenty years now, has been 
recognizing award-winning independent films 
throughout the country via Cinemalaya and Gawad CCP Film and
Video Competition.

This year, they launched 20th Gawad CCP Film and Video Competition
which gathered more than 30 films from both student and professional
filmmakers.

And proudly, Rainbow, this year, is a part of this annual event.

We have big dreams for Rainbow. 
And little by little, we are seeing these dreams into reality.

First was Indie Un-Film Festival in La Salle.
Next came exhibition in Titus Brandsma.
Now, 20th Gawad CCP Film and Video Competition.

The achievements that our baby had may not be like any other,
but I am proud to say that Rainbow, truly, has gone a very long way.

It has surpassed demeaning expectations.
It went against tough barriers.
It outdid any other competition.
And now Rainbow is standing mighty and proud.

The feeling truly is more than winning Oscars.

RAINBOW SYNOPSIS:

Jomar wakes up into a crazy and surreal world that is gay and colorful. 
The table has been turned on straight people and now, homosexuality
have become the norm. How will he survive?

It is then worthy to acknowledge the people behind the success of Rainbow.
