"Why did a Canadian make an aswang documentary and create The Aswang Project? The simple answer is because nobody else did.  Also, Philippine Mythology is awesome!  When I first became interested in Filipino #Folklore back in 2004, I was shocked to find that there was no standardized educational resource for this part of Philippine history.  More so, that the information regarding the aswang was inconsistently recycled and scattered.   I wished I could find a single resource as a jumping off point to learn more about the history, evolution and societal impacts of the aswang.  This is why I made “The Aswang Phenomenon” documentary.

The documentary was a labour of love and I had no idea how it was going to be received.  After a short festival run, the documentary was released to the public on October 31,  2011.  Three and a half year on, I can’t express my gratitude to those who have embraced the documentary and shared it with others.  It is included in university libraries all over the world and has become a staple in many college courses in the Philippines.  It is approaching 2 million views on YouTube and has spawned thousands of online comments and discussions."
