The Missing

Best Film, 2023 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival
Philippines submission for Best International Film, 2024 Academy Awards

The same night that Eric starts a budding romance with his cute coworker, he discovers that his uncle Carlo has passed away. As Eric grapples with loss and love, comings and goings, he starts to hallucinate of an alien visitation – a shadowy figure from his hazily-remembered childhood. A thrilling blend of rotoscoping and 2D hand-drawn animation, and co-starring the award-winning Dolly De Leon, THE MISSING is romance, science fiction, and family drama in one.
