Hollywood actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt has released his newest short film on the Philippines, which featured compilation of the photos submitted by his Filipino followers.
In his Facebook page, the American actor shared the minute-and-a-half long film titled “The Beauty of the Philippines,” which showed images of the country’s sceneries and people—including the prominent traditional tattoo artist Apo Whang-Od.
“The most beautiful thing about the Philippines is its people. “Every spot is special, but it is the people you will remember most,” said a voiceover of the film.
“In their eyes, you will find hope and love and you will be forever changed,” the video added.
Gordon-Levitt said he is extremely happy about this new film, and described is as an epitome of a “true collaboration.
“Artists from the Philippines contributed thousands of photos and videos to bring other artists’ writing and voice acting to life,” he said. “The finished piece is such a sweet celebration of a beautiful place and culture. Bravo to everyone who contributed!”
He also thanked his followers for sending him images to be used for the film, saying he looks forward to creating new content with them in the future.
“[I] wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who contributed. Your enthusiasm for this project really moved me. So did your talent and creativity.”
The Beauty of the Philippines is a project under HitRecord, the actor’s online platform for creative collaboration. According to its website, the platform allows “users work together on a variety of art and media projects that they couldn’t have completed on their own.”
