    | Tagline

     Some fractures can’t be fixed. Some wounds don’t heal the way we expect.

    | Logline

    "At Out of the Blue Lifestyle Farm, now a remote rehab centre, a broken rock band’s final jam session spirals into a reckoning with the past — and each other."

    | Synopsis

    Over the course of 48 hours, Hilom (meaning “healing” in Filipino) dives into the volatile reunion of Red Rose, a once-iconic Filipino rock band brought together at a secluded rehab centre after a scandal tore them apart.


    What begins as a group therapy exercise quickly unravels into a raw confrontation of betrayal, grief, and the lingering question of whether forgiveness is even possible. Through simmering tensions, bitter accusations, and a haunting presence that blurs the line between life and afterlife, the band must decide if they can find harmony one last time…or if the music is truly gone forever.


    Shot in just two days for the Siné 48-Hour Film Challenge, Hilom blends emotional intensity, musical resonance, and supernatural undertones into a compact yet powerful narrative.

    | Behind the Scenes

     Produced under the relentless pressure of the Siné 48-Hour Challenge, Hilom was conceived, shot, and edited in a single weekend. The creative process fused collaborative chaos with deep emotional performances, and the finished film is as much about the making as it is about the story on screen.

    | Mission Briefing – Director’s Call to Action

     Before a single frame was shot, Director Edmund Manasan sent this mission briefing to the Hilom cast and crew.

    It was more than an update, it was a challenge. A reminder that what we were about to make was bigger than the clock, the rules, or the limitations.

    “You’re not just making a film, you’re making the only version of this story that can ever exist. Let’s make it count.”
