Andam na ba mo? Hapit na jud ang shooting… 🎬

As The Sound of K moves closer to production, the team took time to consult a Registered Speech-Language Pathologist, Ms. Katrina Uriel Secretaria from Speechbox Therapy Center in Ormoc City. We are incredibly grateful for their time and expertise to help bring this film project to life.

This step helps ensure that the story especially the speech therapy aspect is handled with care, accuracy, and respect. This consultation reflects our commitment to responsibly represent persons with cleft, not just as characters on screen, but as individuals whose experiences truly matter.

We hope this film can help raise awareness, encourage understanding, and give space to voices that are often overlooked.

Padayon ta sa paghimo og istorya nga may kahulugan, hustisya, ug kasingkasing. 💛
