"Don't Forget the Coconuts" Film

The story of a young man trying to learn about his Filipino culture.

This video was made for a local contest. The rules were to make a 5 minute video or less with the theme "where I come from". I've never made a video like this before and I was extremely excited to make it. Thanks to EVERYONE who helped and for those who supported! I'll let you guys know when the results get in.

Now remember the video was meant to be 5 minutes or less so it may seemed rushed. I had to fit in my entire story within the limit. I'm really happy for the outcome and hopefully you guys can enjoy it too.

While watching and editing the video, I noticed several "easter eggs". Can anyone find any? lol

HD makes everything better. :D

You can watch the coconut dance here:
