Dan Villegas (@danvillegas), known for directing films like “Uninvited” (2024) and series like “Replacing Chef Chico” (2023), as well as for producing films such as “That Thing Called Tadhana” (2014), reflects on how a more open creative landscape has also led to a more competitive one.
In the latest episode of the Rolling Stone Philippines Roundtable, powered by IQOS, the Filipino filmmaker looks back on a time when boundaries in the creative industry were clearly drawn, when TV was TV and film was film, and contrasts it with today’s dynamic, do-it-all landscape. While the breakdown of gatekeeping has allowed creatives to move across disciplines more freely, it has also created a more crowded field where competition grows, but the ecosystem stays the same.
Watch Villegas unpack these realities alongside music producer and the man behind crwn, King Puentespina (@thatsokayking), radio DJs and hosts Gino Quillamor (@gino.quillamor) and Tin Gamboa (@tin__gamboa), as well as Rolling Stone Philippines Chief of Editorial Content Jonty Cruz.
