BOR OCAMPO (Pampanga, FILIPINAS, 1987) opina que las mejores historias se encuentran, no se hacen, construyendo una filmografía en el reconocimiento y extracción de las narrativas a través de la mirada. Encontró su primera fuente de inspiración en la AUS-RP Trilogy, donde no dudó en lanzarse a rodar algo que merecía la pena ser inmortalizado. Su aclamado corto “Digpa’ Ning Alti” (el prólogo de Dog-Eat-Dog) culminó en su primer largometraje, “Dayang Asu” (“Dognation”); ambas obras exploran pasajes morales ambientados en tiempo de guerra poniendo el foco en los humanos como criaturas políticas y animales. Ha recibido múltiples premios y nominaciones (ver lista en la versión en inglés).
