2nd TCC Film Festival

TCC held its 2nd annual TCC Film Festival with the theme, "This is my story" last March 2-6 2015. Students from pre-elementary and elementary showed their best pictures while highschool students gave their best efforts in making their films.

With the theme, elementary students gave their pictures which best shows their life here at at TCC while high school students made a film which portrays an inspiring story of a missionary.

The preparation was from January to February. The photos of the elementary students are quite easy to take but the movies created by the high school students are difficult to produce. The pictures, trailers of the films and the nomination for best actress. best actor, best writer, best editors, and best cinematographer of the movies are then posted last February 6 at the TCC page for gathering Facebook likes being one of the citeria, and boxes of each picture and nominee are displayed at the tent booth last March 2-5 for money voting being a part also of the criteria; the nominees have their 3rd criteria which is talent being judged by Pastor JR Manlucot.

The ever supportive parents of every student have emptied their pocket just to support their sons and daughters in the money voting and spend some hours in the computer begging someone to like their child's picture.

The six movies produced by the high school students; Flashback, the story of Pastor Ricky de Guzman under Choogagers Production, The Calling, the life of Pastor Joseph Salvador, under RE (Road to Esther) Production: 2nd Chance under Rude Road Production; Mission HimPossible under Flower Girl Production, A Candle in the Dark, the story of the missionary William Carey, under Aphrodites Production; and Who Am I, the life of Pastor Jhun Paul Idolmo,under ocean Breeze Production were showed at the TCC Conference Hall on March 5, 2015 with a ticket worth Php 5 for each movie.
