Many of us have probably tried learning new skills and doing new hobbies during this pandemic as it requires us to stay at home most of the time.
Those who can afford it even took short courses online to gain extra knowledge on things they are passionate about.
And speaking of passion, do you know you can actually ignite your passion for filmmaking without spending a single centavo and leaving the comfort and safety of your house?
Yes! Thanks to CineKabalen and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
