A tribute to Jose Rizal - An intellectual, artist, a writer, world traveler, and even a ladies man, Jose Rizal was a jack-of-all-trades. To his friends he was a “gem of a man” while his enemies considered him to be a great threat, and rightly so, for he became one of the most influential leaders of the Philippine Revolution. Persecuted for his beliefs, Rizal was made a martyr in 1896 and is considered a national hero.

The 5′Giants are an unincorporated team of Filipino-American filmmakers who write and perform films that are as diverse and colorful as their own cultural identities. They make there movies with passion, not money (which means all of their talent is unpaid). This concept is foreign to most people, so think of them like a community baseball team that plays the game week after week because they love the game – not because they want to make money. They are just like that. The team moniker was based after the fact that the average height of a Filipino person is 5’ something. They like the idea of someone who does feats greater than they were built to do, so they adopted it as there team name.
