Previously a painter and trained in the visual arts and photography, Raymond Red, one of the pioneers of Philippine alternative cinema, sees light as a guiding force in his work. Many of his films are experimental and exist outside the mainstream commercial system. In 2000, he won the Palme d’Or for Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival for "Anino," becoming the first and only Filipino to receive the prestigious award.<br /><br />Across a four-decade career that includes works such as "Bayani," "Himpapawid," and "Kamera Obskura," Red’s experience extends far beyond independent cinema. His latest film, "Manila’s Finest," is set to premiere at the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival. He has also directed commercials and music videos — work he views not as a setback, but as a necessary and even productive compromise.<br /><br />In this episode of The Rolling Stone Philippines Interview, Raymond reflects on how working across formats instills discipline and sharpens craft in a time when cinema — whether viewed on a phone or on the big screen — is everywhere.<br /><br /><br />ROLLING STONE PHILIPPINES MEDIA CHANNELS<br /><br />PUBLISHER <br />Anne Bernisca<br /><br />MEDIA CHANNELS MANAGER<br />Kenneth Dimaano<br /><br />PODCAST PRODUCER<br />Anton Molina<br /><br />PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE<br />Megan Lim<br /><br />VIDEO EDITOR<br />Jomar Allan<br /><br />COPYWRITER AND RESEARCHER<br />Nica Glorioso<br /><br />VIDEO EDITOR<br />Lian Dela Cruz<br /><br />EDITORIAL TEAM<br /><br />CHIEF OF EDITORIAL CONTENT <br />Jonty Cruz <br /><br />DIGITAL EDITOR<br />Sai Versailles<br /><br />ART DIRECTOR<br />Nimu Mirano<br /> <br /><br />PRODUCTION TEAM<br /><br />DIRECTOR<br />Kenneth Dimaano<br /><br />PRODUCER & SOUND ENGINEER<br />Anton Molina<br /><br />DOP <br />Jomar Allan<br /><br />VIDEO EDITOR<br />Lian Dela Cruz<br /><br />WRITER & HOST<br />Sai Versailles<br /><br />MEDIA CHANNELS PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE<br />Megan Lim<br /><br />EDITORIAL PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE<br />Pietro Miguel Pasion<br /><br />CAMERA OPERATORS<br />Jomar Allan<br />Excel Panlaque<br /><br />GAFFERS<br />FTW Photo & Video<br /><br />BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT<br /><br />ADVERTISING DIRECTOR<br />Ivan Panganiban<br /><br />ADVERTISING MANAGER<br />Vin Mancera<br /><br />ACCOUNT MANAGER<br />Chyll Taylo<br /><br />MODERN MEDIA GROUP, INC<br /><br />CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER<br />Archie Carrasco<br /><br />CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER<br />Anne Bernisca<br /><br />HEAD OF OPERATIONS<br />Nikki Balboa<br /><br />Rolling Stone Philippines is published by Modern Media Group, Inc., a subsidiary of AGC Power Holdings Corp., under license from Rolling Stone, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation. <br /><br />All Rights Reserved.<br /><br />#RollingStonePH<br />#RSPHRoundtable<br />#RSPHMediaChannels
