Jewel Maranan is an independent documentary filmmaker in the Philippines.

The two films she has directed so far were crafted in this pursuit. Her film, Garlic Peeler (2008), follows a woman garlic peeler as she exhausts all possibilities of public health service for her husband′s testicle ailment. Tondo, Beloved: To What Are the Poor Born (2012), her most recent documentary, observes the geopolitics of life before birth in the oldest and most densely populated slum in Manila. Aside from filmmaking, she currently manages Cinema Is Incomplete, a cinema theque and film distribution project that started in 2011 and is now also venturing into film production. |
