Paolo Abrihan
DIRECTOR
Growing up, Paolo gravitated towards two things: creativity and competition
The kid picked up a few skills - photography, poetry, sketching, graphic design and some musical instruments. On his way to becoming a JackOfAllTrades, MasterOfNone, these skills eventually proved useful and formed his core sensibilities as he found love for the language of film and advertising.
After graduating from Ateneo in 2012, he put up a small production company, ManilaMan. 6 years of grinding below the line, building experience and credibility eventually opened a new door to compete on a bigger stage. In 2018, veteran director, AF Benaza acquired ManilaMan and the talent behind it.
Since then, Paolo has found his creative flow through taking on all types of challenges, refusing to be limited by convention. He is heavily motivated and is on a constant pursuit of excellence with every project. His style is balanced - always pushing for a fresh visual edge while maintaining the quality and clarity of communication.
When asked about his preferred genre of work - “Genres are limiting, I’m here to do good work. Period.”
