projectS In Development

At Pinoy Cinematic Universe, we are dedicated to crafting compelling and diverse stories that resonate with audiences around the world. Our slate of projects spans multiple genres and formats, from feature-length dramas that explore the depths of human experience to sharp, witty comedies that bring a fresh perspective to everyday life. We are particularly passionate about highlighting underrepresented voices, including the rich and vibrant Filipino experience, through films that are both culturally authentic and universally relatable. Whether it’s a feature film, a short, or a documentary, each project we undertake is a labor of love, driven by a commitment to storytelling excellence.
