Big Boy was Shireen Seno’s first feature, shot on an ultra-low budget and taking inspiration from family tales as well as the visual traces left behind by previous generations. Set in the 1950s on the Island of Mindoro in the Philippines – in the years after the official end of the American occupation in 1946 – the film tells the  story of Julio and his family’s many interventions to make him grow as physically tall as possible in their pursuit of  a better life.
