The Philippine creative scene never stands still. What does it take to navigate its ebbs and flows?
On this episode of Rolling Stone Philippines Roundtable, powered by IQOS, “Uninvited” (2024) director and cinematographer Dan Villegas, music producer and singer-songwriter King Puentespina (A.K.A. crwn), and DJs and former hosts of hit radio show “Boys Night Out” Gino Quillamor and Tin Gamboa unite for an unfiltered discussion about the state of the local creative industry. It’s a gathering of seasoned minds that have built the scene’s foundation, witnessed its evolution, and continue to chart its future.
In a conversation moderated by Rolling Stone Philippines Chief of Editorial Content Jonty Cruz, Villegas underscores the importance of grounding art in purpose instead of predetermined outcomes. Puentespina advocates for artists’ longstanding need for stronger, systemic government support. Quillamor highlights the importance of rest in a relentless industry, while Gamboa emphasizes that life extends beyond the grind, and that finding pleasure in pause can fuel creativity.
