Each film will receive a Terminal Six Post voucher price PHP100,000, which could be applied toward a spread of post-production services, helping filmmakers elevate their final outputs for theatrical exhibition.
Along with the post-production assistance, Terminal Six conducted a one-day post-production workshop with the producers of every film, further training them on the techniques used to ready movies for archiving in addition to for distribution to online streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Max, amongst others.
