Michael Angelo Dagñalan

A writer/director who teaches filmmaking, he is passionate about learning more and adding expertise to a higher level. As a filmmaker, Mike D is known for his neorealist films with anti-heroes as main protagonists. Crazy enough to keep on making movies which can be financially challenging. He brings to the screen characters that are less popular in mainstream cinema but definitely entertaining. The visual storyteller continues to learn and adapts to the changing landscape brought by the digital platform - OTT(Over-The-Top Content).
