#asongformyself

Happy #femalefilmmakerfriday from the set of #asongformyself last week! Blocking actors is always one of my fave parts of directing, as apparent in my body language with my actors @farrfrancheska and @officialanthea. 📸 by @jacesonic (at North Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ru39fHymm/?igshid=8igq8t8j5yjs

Exactly a week ago, we started shooting #asongformyself and it was the most ambitious and challenging shoot I’ve ever done. at the end of the day, I’m so proud of what 🔥 OUR AMAZINGLY HARDWORKING CAST & CREW 🎥 accomplished and I can’t wait to share it with you all. It takes a village, for sure, and this is our wonderful 🎞 tribe. 📸 by @bcatbagan #dww2020 #afidww #femalefilmmaker #womaninfilm #afi #indiefilm (at North Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cZCyGHFzl/?igshid=1bne7rjgw9ehx

last night’s @americanfilminstitute’s Directing Workshop for Women Showcase was absolutely mind blowing 🤯 There was astounding work from the class of 2019 that both inspired and kicked my ass. Jason also finally got to meet all my amazing classmates and put faces to all my fun stories. Also! @ben_tolentino cut 2 out of the 8 films and they were some of my faves. Eternal thanks to @ludwigmonster for picking me to be a part of this program and for that emotional speech last night. Special shoutouts to @pippabianco’s keynote as well, which I felt was like a TEDtalk and therapy as the same time. #afidww2020 #asongformyself (at Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdNmUvlkaH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tdxzy1ibszgx

spent time with badass director @paragasdiane last week while she was in LA. We talked about our new films and the vision for our futures. I am SO EXCITED to see her feature film, YELLOW ROSE, which will be the opening night film of the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival on May 2nd!! 🏆 🎥 #femalefilmmakerfriday #PinayPride #supportfilipinofilms #yellowrose #asongformyself (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnGj5JlpnU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13sha55qrw5sv

So I’ve known Jonathan London for over 10 years not just because we both used to direct music vids or because we went to film school together, but because I used to be a fan of his old video podcast GEEKDROME! Now, he’s got the mad popular @geekscapedotnet and he just interviewed me on his PODCAST! We talk a lot about music (his scene in Austin and mine in Manila), our indie work and film careers, and our dear late friend @jonschnepp. Oh yeah, and about my new short film #ASongForMyself and how you can help us out! http://www.geekscape.net/geekscape-506-filmmaker-marie-jamora-is-a-bad-ass A few shoutouts went out to @bettydrapers_fatsuit, @grantimahara, @msheidicox, and @theresejamoragarceau. #afidww2020 #columbiauniversity #columbiafilm (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfWzovFlUY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ecq7avt2552n
