Daniboy is a short film project born out of the director’s constant visit to Mt. Diwalwal in Davao de Oro. This is where he met the child miners in the gold mining community and had a connection through their stories growing up in such an environment.

With the hopes of bringing to light the life in Diwalwal, especially of its children, the director thought of doing that in a way he knows how to, through storytelling.

Creating this film would have not been possible without the talent, effort, and hardwork that was shared by the team and the support and help of the local community. While the project has also been fortunate to be supported by the Goethe Institut and the National Commission for Culture and Arts, unfortunately, it was not enough to cover for all the expenses that the production needed in bringing to fruition the vision of the film and making sure that we would be able to give proper compensation to everyone that contributed to the project.

With this, we have launched a crowdfunding campaign and are humbly knocking on your hearts and asking for your utmost generosity to give us financial support to finish this project.

We really hope you could be part of this film!
