Ang Pagliligtas Sa Dalaganag Bukid, 2022
Saving The Country Maiden
Written and Directed by Jaime Morados | 16 mins
In the midst of a studio fire in 1921, Joaquin attempts
to save the film reel of the first movie he’s ever seen, “Dalagang Bukid”.
Among the wreckage he ends up inside the almost destroyed film,
and must find a way out before it completely burns away.

“To depict a fictionalized rose-tinted account of how the screening of "Dalagang Bukid" could've felt like to a Filipino couple experiencing the magic of cinema for the first time is a wet dream. It's quite questionable how it took anyone this long to attempt it; and an emboldened Morados finally stepped up.”
