Biography
Sheron Dayoc is a Mindanaon filmmaker, writer, editor, cinematographer and a visual Artist. Born and raised in Zamboanga City, he has started documenting the lives of people in the grassroots level, particularly the marginalized people and different tribes in Mindanao. His exposure to these cultures has allowed him to create factual and culturally-sensitive documentary films on the peoples of Mindanao.
He owes his knowledge in filmmaking to the University of the Philippines Film Institute, Mowelfund Film Institute and Asian Film Academy in Pusan, Korea (Pusan International Film festival). He has learned to cultivate a sense of sensitivity and discipline to encapsulate his ideas into science.
HALAW(Ways of the Sea) is his first Feature length Film and is inspired from his
experience as a documentary Filmmaker in Mindanao. The film competed in Pusan IFF and Tokyo IFF and will be soon traveling to Berlin, Poland and Belgium.
His first short narrative won special jury Citation at the Cinemalaya Film festival 2008. The film is also in competition in 7ème Festival Signes de Nuit Paris 2009 and has screened to various festivals in Europe and US. Ron is the first Filipino to win the prestigious ASIAN PITCH 2008 grant for his documentary film proposal entitled A Weaver's Tale under Media Corp Singapore and NHK Japan which recently won a certificate of creative excellence at the US International Film and TV Festival.
