Raz de la Torre, who graduated this year, has already had huge success in the Philippines with his first feature, a romantic comedy titled, "Won't Last A Day Without You", which he wrote and directed. It was released on 30 November 2011 in over 120 cinemas all over the Philippines and opened at PhP20M, one of the highest openings for a locally produced movie ever.
Other credits this year are a 2-part documentary on sustainable energy for the ABS-CBN NEWS CHANNEL (ANC) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and three episodes of MMK, the longest running drama anthology in the Philippines, for ABS-CBN, the biggest television network. Two episodes have received top ratings when broadcast. The third is currently in production.
"My professional experience before LFS was purely in screenwriting. But because of the wholistic, hands-on MA programme in filmmaking, the transition to directing/production was quick and successful for me", said Raz.
