It’s really awesome watching your favorite actors and actresses tug at your emotions while you escape reality in an hour or so in the cool, dark sanctuary of big screens. Many of us have fallen in love with the mainstream movies, most especially because the ones who make them up are the famous guys in the entertainment industry.
But here’s something different Filipinos must learn to embrace too.
Indie films produced in the Philippines are already garnering praises from people around the globe for bringing home international awards. No wonder, the people behind these small films possess world class talents that fellow Filipinos deserve to witness, and appreciate.
Apparently, the people who venture on this industry are motivated by passion. Indie films add richness to the art and culture of the country where it originated. It doesn’t only serve as entertainment, but can be also used as a learning tool for everyone.
An Innovation out of Passion
Driven by love for the art and science of filmmaking, a passionate industry volunteer externalized a brilliant idea into something that seeks more productivity. Out of this, the website Show of Hands (www.showofhandsph.com) has been born.
Show of hands is a website that can be used as a tool by independent filmmakers to promote their works by regularly updating their target audience about the necessary details of screenings such as the venue, dates, timeslots, and tickets.
This latest innovation goes beyond simple promotion. It can be a great help in establishing and increasing a filmmaker’s target audience. It can also encourage sponsors to support a film project and eventually translate the work into a money-making product for a sustainable industry. Thus, even small productions bring home the bacon.
This is my passion project and it needs your help and support. It has been a candidate for feature in The Sparks Project a crowd funding platform that supports filipino ideas. Show of Hands Ph would need as many believers for the project as possible to "unlock" the project to get my much needed support. Having this Sparks Project backup would help the brand Show Of Hands Ph to be noticed not just in the film community but in start-ups and technology. Help launch this dream project.

Easy Access to Info
Because indie films are not that as popular as the mainstream movies, not too many people are watching them. However, there might be a large number out there, who may really want to witness the art but don’t know where, when, and how to access them. Plus, they don’t know who to ask about it.
So, if you’re a film lover who would love to watch every story that interests and excites you, Show of Hands is the right place to go if you wish for latest updates. Gone are the days when you miss out a film you wanted to watch simply because you don’t know when and where the screenings would be. You can also request screenings outside the metro and near your city.
