CHILDHOOD

What was their relationship with their parents growing up?:

İlaya d’Eath ( nee Burakgazi ): His mother died in childbirth so he never knew her. His father gave him his mother’s name as his first middle name, to remind him that his mother loved him. So while he never knew her personally, he is grateful to her for bringing him into life -- she is a large influence in his music he writes.

Ion d’Eath ( pronounced I - YON ): His father is around one hundred and fifty years old, a full fledged vampire. Ion kept to himself most of his life, secluded, until he found İlaya and they had Lorcan together. With İlaya gone, Ion is very protective over Lorcan his son, especially since he knows that he is the cause of Lorcan’s hardships, being both human and vampire, never being accepted fully by either species for being half-breed. While his father is a little old school, quiet and shows his form of love in non-conventional ways, Lorcan loves him deeply.

Saoirse O’Connor ( prounced SER- SHA ): His vampire “step-mother” -- she is a new vampire, turned by a rogue vampire and rescued by Ion sometime after they moved to Ireland, who he helped teach to live as a vampire. Lorcan doesn’t know her extremely well, as she and his father only started dating about three years ago and he only gets to see her during the summer months; however, he likes her just fine. As long as she makes his father happy, then Lorcan will be happy. She is kind to him and he absolutely loves her strong, Irish accent.

What was their relationship with their siblings growing up (if applicable)?: He was an only child growing up, but now he has a half-sister that he absolutely adores named Ava, who is around two years old. She is a little rascal, always biting everything, and he would do anything to protect her.

Were there any other key people in their childhood? What was their relationship like?: He really only had his father growing up. He made a few friends while he was at Durmstrang Institute, but at that time he was still learning on how to be half-vampire, trying to keep it secret, so he never let anyone get close.

Who was their childhood best friend?: N/A.

What was their lifestyle like growing up?: Lorcan grew up in the countryside, so he’s always enjoyed the outdoors. He was sometimes limited to the physical activites he could do outside, as the sun can weakened him if he is exposed to it for a long time. This was one reason that Ion gifted a guitar to him at a young age, so he had a hobby indoors.

Even for the most simple spells.

QCinema celebrates the city’s 80th founding with amass of Filipino Filmmakers and a foray of talents in this year’s QCShorts Competition.

  JUDY FREE

  Set in the early 2000s, ‘Judy Free’ tells the story of Judy, a young girl whose reality is intruded when her father, an Overseas Filipino Worker, suddenly comes home as an animated doodle figure after years of being away.

            Judy lives in a small apartment with her mother Eden, her older brother Tonton, and her grandma Sene. Her father has left home ever since Judy can remember. Now that he came back, Judy has to spend one month with her father, a month filled with imported chocolates and other lavish items from abroad. Soon, she realizes that her plan to get close to him is tested when a commotion happens in the household. A photograph showing another child overseas. An impending feeling of their family’s dissolution.

  TOKWIFI

As Limmayug carries firewood back to his home village, something falls from the sky: a 1950s television, with a hysterical showbiz star trapped inside it. She is Laura Blancaflor. The frightened man saves the television — nay, saves Laura — from the flames of the impact.

Worlds apart in their language and methods, the two try their best to engage each other. But for Limmayug, a citizen of an off-the-grid mountain town, Laura’s TV talk seems too contrived and, alas, during commercial breaks, uncontrollably tactless as well.

  Directed by Carla Pulido Ocampo Produced by Lester Valle

Stars Kurt Lumbag Alalag and Adrienne Vergara

Koi, a fresh graduate in his early 20s, returns home with a left ear infection after more than two years of being away.
