Overview

A quiet moment. A call that bridges two selves.
‘A Call from Your Past Self’ is a raw, poetic short that captures the internal shift from performing to becoming — from DMOL to Manny XO. It’s more than a transition. It’s a statement.

Challenges & Approach

Telling a personal story with no frills required a delicate balance.
We used minimal light, a single frame, and a recorded voice from the past — to make space for the truth to breathe. Every pause, every silence, every word was intentional.

The result

The film is a cinematic fragment of the bigger narrative behind MannyFest.
No branding. No gimmicks. Just a man reclaiming his voice.
It marks the beginning of a new era — where music meets memory, and vulnerability becomes vision.
