What we're casting

Our first print chapter, Islas de los Pintados, includes a fashion editorial shot on the Oregon coast this winter. It looks back to the islands before 1521 and dresses them in who we are today, from luxury and pre-loved pieces to Filipiniana and barong. We're also casting for portraits, short films and the moments we capture at gatherings throughout the year.

Who we're looking for

  • Filipino and Filipino American talent of every age, size and gender
  • Men and women for menswear and womenswear stories
  • First-timers welcome. We'll walk you through every step on set.
