Synopsis

Tami-aw is a documentary narrative film that follows the journey of Louigina "Igi," a widow from a disadvantaged background, as she attempts to claim government cash aid. Originally intended as educational support, the assistance ends up being used to sustain the family's basic survival. The film raises the question of whether there are alternative ways to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty within a Filipino family.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
