Why We Do What We Do
When like-hearted minds meet we plant seeds and when we work together we all get to enjoy the fruits of our garden. We all get to eat.
FIL AM CREATIVE was established in 2010 when Ed Mallilin, Rex Sampaga, and Walter Boholst met for coffee having been inspired after finding a need to create a space for the Filipino voice and eventually a vision of a film festival in Los Angeles.
PROJECTS & FAC FILM FESTIVAL ( FAC’s Main Project) were formed to contribute to the arts industries.
Through our artistic endeavors we practice wellness cultivating a safe space for creatives, partners, and our vendors. Each role at Fil Am Creative is equal, innately knowing that our value is not measured by what each person has on their plate, but how well we execute what we have on our plate – that is the true value.
Throughout history they have tried to bury us, our stories, our journeys neglecting to notice we were seeds. We will not be discounted. This is the village that maintains this garden. This is a village that feeds its people.
