Deadline looms for filmmakers interested in joining the UFC Reel Life:
Nagsasama-samang Sarap Short Film Competition. A highlight of UFC’s
50th anniversary celebration, the ongoing competition serves to shine a light
on the prodigious talents of local filmmakers known for creating inspiring
and meaningful stories that Filipinos can relate to.
The Filipino creative spirit has always endured, reflecting the same resiliency and strength our
country has shown in the face of tremendous challenges. This competition celebrates
filmmakers whose stories highlight the positivity and hope that UFC has provided for the last 50
years.
Filmmakers from all over the country only have two weeks to turn in their entries as the
competition closes on November 25. From all the entries received, 30 finalists will be
announced on December 3 and winners will be awarded on December 7, 2020.
All entries must creatively depict the above-mentioned values of optimism and positivity that
Filipinos of all ages manifest in times of difficulty. These should also portray the integral role of
UFC products in empowering Filipinos to create nagsasama-samang sarap moments every day.
Thus, all submitted videos should use at least one UFC product as an organic part of the
narrative. UFC products include: UFC Tamis Anghang Banana Catsup, UFC Sweet Chili Sauce,
UFC Tomato Sauce, UFC Gravy, UFC Hot and Spicy Banana Catsup, UFC Hot Sauce, UFC
Spaghetti Sauce, UFC Ready Recipes, and UFC Fresh Selections.
The festival is open to all filmmakers in the Philippines. Entries must have a maximum length of
five (5) minutes, including the opening and closing credits. All videos submitted should be
recorded in horizontal format, and edited in not less than 720 HD format. Using 1080 HD,
however, is highly recommended.
Submissions will be screened by a panel of judges, which will determine the finalists and
winners through a deliberation. Thirty finalists will be chosen based on the following criteria:
Thematic Storytelling (40%), Creativity and Originality (40%), and Technical Execution (20%).
The results will be final and irrevocable.
Each of the 30 finalists will automatically receive a gift pack from UFC.
