Nine years ago, when I applied to be in the directing class of the director Brillante Mendoza … the staff texted me back, giving me five compelling reasons why Direk Brillante has to accept you as a directing student,&quot; Chuaunsu said in her speech.&quot;I said I don&#x27;t have five reasons -- I have only one compelling reason. If I don&#x27;t produce my movie, I cannot breathe. So tonight, I can finally breathe,&quot; she added.Aside from the full-length film category, short films and documentaries also shined during the ceremony. The winners for the short film category included:- 3rd Best Short Film: Ang Maniniyot ni Papa Jesus- 2nd Best Short Film: Bisan Abo Mabilin  - 1st Best Short Film: As the Moth Flies In the documentary category, INO took home the Best Documentary award, while two Jury Prizes were awarded to Pag-Ibig ang Mananaig and Ghost of Kalantiaw.Below is the full list of winners from the 2024 Sinag Maynila Gabi ng Parangal:<div>Short Film Category</div>- 3rd Best Short Film: Ang Maniniyot ni Papa Jesus  - 2nd Best Short Film: Bisan Abo Mabilin  - 1st Best Short Film: As the Moth Flies<div>Documentary Category</div>- Best Documentary: INO - Documentary Jury Prize: Pag-Ibig ang Mananaig  - Documentary Jury Prize: Ghost of Kalantiaw<div>Full-Length Film Category</div>- Best Film: Her Locket  - Best Screenplay: Her Locket – JE Tiglao  - Best Production: Her Locket  - Best Cinematography: Her Locket – Jag Concepcion  - Best Editing: Banjo – Bryan Wong  - People’s Choice Award: Talahib  - Best Actor: Ronnie Lazaro – The Gospel of the Beast  - Best Director: JE Tiglao – Her Locket- Best Ensemble Acting: Her Locket  - Best Actress: Rebecca Chuaunsu – Her Locket - Best Supporting Actress: Elora Españo –Her Locket<div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>
