𝐊𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐝𝐨: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐥

Puregold CinePanalo 2026 short film finalist 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐥, directed and written by Michael Baylon, lay bare the realities of local struggles. But, behind the scenes, every color and horror that looked unsettling on screen, the realistic and grotesque depictions, were the result of a painstaking process beyond the camera. Consumed by the putrid stench of dead, the smell seeping into their skin—they were becoming the meat they were trying to portray.
