"A breathtakingly thoughtful and insightful film"

"stunning cinematography”
Growing up in Masbate Province in the Philippines, Jary is neglected and shunned since the moment of his birth for one reason-- his appearance.
His older sister, Jessa protects Jary through his early years, then takes him in as a young teen, to raise him alongside her own two children in a fragile house on a hill. Jessa seeks out the medical care Jary has been denied since birth. And more, the support to begin his physical and emotional recovery.
Every Day After is a 35-minute documentary that provides a more nuanced look at the complexities of the healing process we don't often see. And honors the invisible labor of a sister whose love and action make it possible for Jary to experience the everyday joys and struggles of growing up.
“It was a profound honor to direct this film and share Jessa's masterclass in unconditional love.”
