      "Pi7ong Tagpo" is about life's journey, 7 different lives, 7 struggles, 7 decisions, 7 realities - all filmed in one take. The vision of the producers and director Rahyan is to craft a unique film by shooting each segment in real time. This means that each story was done in one long take – with absolutely no cuts – just like a theater production. Director Rahyan Carlos expounds, "Life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you wish, but you can only spend it once." In an interview, Robert Seña, one of the actors and also part of the production team elaborates, "Life has no rehearsals, no cuts. You only live it once." Making the film more ambitious is the fact that each episode was shot between 13 to 20 minutes.

      Creative Futures seeks to inspire, educate and open people's eyes to life's many possibilities and create a ripple today for tomorrow's wave – a wave of hope and change that will make Filipino lives a little better.

      The story of Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel begins when human Lucia (Jean Garcia) delivers a beautiful, yet unusual, baby girl; unusual because unlike normal babies, Lucia’s child is born with fins for legs. The child is named Dyesebel. And although surprised by their daughter’s strange form, Lucia and her husband Tonio (Wendell Ramos) promises to love their child no matter what.

      But in no time at all, their neighbors discover the couple’s secret. And when the community is hit with a series of catastrophes, the town believes that the anomaly that is Dyesebel is to blame; an accusation that leads Lucia to offer her only daughter to the sea, where she would fit better.

       Unknown to Lucia, it is at the heart of the sea that Dyesebel’s adventures and misfortunes will begin, and that it is within the confines of the waters that Dyesebel will lead a new life, a journey that would take her to the depths of the sea, as well as the chaos of the city.
