Every scene, line, and frame were imagined, written, directed, and brought to life using their exceptional skills, a few surprise props, and expert guidance.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">PROMIL® helps support Four Brain Developmental Milestones: Focus, Memory, Language, and Problem-Solving —through nutrients: <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10479465/">DHA</a>, <a href="https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Choline-HealthProfessional/">Choline</a>, <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6164534/">Lutein</a>, and <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37686775/">MOS+</a> (Milk Oligosaccharides), along with proper diet, daily activities, and rest. </p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">According to Doc Ed, a pediatrician and Medical Director, Wyeth Nutrition, early childhood is the most critical stage in brain development. &quot;This is when children build the brain power they will use for life. Nutrition plays a big role, along with the loving guidance of their parents.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;By age five, a child&#x27;s brain is developing at a rapid pace. It is a vital time for learning language, focusing attention, and solving problems,&quot; Doc Ed added.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>How proper nutrition nurtures brain developmental milestones</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"><br/></div><p style="line-height:1">Before diving into their creative tasks, the children enjoyed healthy snacks and a daily glass of PROMIL®, along with proper diet, rest, and daily activities to help fuel brain development. PROMIL® provides support for these Four Milestones by helping children think critically, express themselves clearly, stay focused, and recall what they learn—skills they applied throughout the filmmaking process.</p><p style="line-height:1">&quot;Early experiences shape a child&#x27;s future,&quot; said Doc Ed. &quot;Those early years build the brain connections that support empathy, critical thinking, and self-control.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"><strong>What nurturing brain development looks like: Gifted Kids in Action</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">PROMIL® &#x27;The Gifted Kids in Action,&#x27; a documentary-style series on TikTok, follows four Gifted Kids as they turn their ideas into an animated short film—a project brought to life by PROMIL®. Through the guidance of top industry mentors and the loving support of their parents, the children&#x27;s potential was unlocked, proving how far imagination and brain power may go when nurtured.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Inside the vibrant Gifted Workroom—designed to spark fun and creativity—four young talents, including:</p><p style="line-height:1">- Tili Bolzico, age five, stepped into the role of director.</p><p style="line-height:1">- Alfie Burnand, age six, led scriptwriting.</p><p style="line-height:1">- Maddie de Leon, age five, took charge of animation.</p><p style="line-height:1">- Javi Trajano, age five, served as cinematographer.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Each Gifted Kid was chosen for their unique strengths and developmental milestones in focus, memory, language, and problem-solving.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Proud moms, Solenn Heussaff-Bolzico and Georgina Wilson, stood by the kids throughout the journey. As Heussaff-Bolzico shared, &quot;They had exceptionally gifted mentors show them the ropes.&quot; Wilson added, &quot;Together, they are reaching new milestones for Gifted Kids.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>Giftedness can transform thoughts into stories</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Every great film begins with a story. Award-winning screenwriter Cha Esguerra, known for Saving Sally, guided the children in crafting their narrative.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Each child opened a mystery box to find their inspiration. Tili picked a crown, Maddie chose a pink dinosaur, Javi selected a party popper, while Alfie picked a Word Boggle game and quickly began forming a plot. Esguerra taught them that every story needs a beginning, middle, and end. &quot;All you need to do is use your Gifted Brains,&quot; she reminded them.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">PROMIL® supports this skill through <a href="https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Choline-Consumer/">Choline</a>, which helps aid in verbal learning and memory formation, helping children express themselves with clarity and creativity, along with proper diet, daily activities, and rest.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>Lighting up Gifted Brains</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">To visualize how their brains work during the creative process, the children wore Gifted Brain Visualizers, special headsets that lit up with brain activity.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">When Javi saw his headset flicker, he asked, &quot;What does it mean when a part of the brain lights up?&quot; Wilson explained, &quot;It shows what part of your brain is working really hard.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">As their minds activated backed by PROMIL®&#x27;s <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6164534/">Lutein</a>, a nutrient that helps protect and sustain brain function. The children also sketched characters alongside illustrator Jamie Tejido, bringing their story to life through design.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>Through the lens of giftedness</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Renowned filmmaker Antoinette Jadaone joined the team to teach the fundamentals of visual storytelling. &quot;You can make people feel something just by the way you frame a shot,&quot; Jadaone explained.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Tili, the director, paid close attention. &quot;As a director, your job is to make sure everything comes together,&quot; Jadaone said. &quot;Since your characters are all superheroes, think of something that can unite them.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1"><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3257695/">DHA</a> in PROMIL® is a key nutrient known to support attention and cognitive sharpness, helping kids like Tili manage tasks, stay present, and lead confidently.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Illustrator Jomike Tejido demonstrated how to animate movement, while voice actor Rhys Austin showed how vocal delivery and sound bring emotion and excitement to the story. Aided by artificial intelligence to enhance animation, the film moved into full production.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">PROMIL® through <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10490528/">MOS+</a>, a prebiotic that supports gut health and overall well-being, plays a role in enabling calm, confident decision-making which is important during animation and production.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>Gifted Four and the Case of the Missing Gifts</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175454311410420250619020616_promil1.jpg" style="width:633px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="line-height:1;text-align:center"><em>Photo source: Promil PH </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7gC-pKs0lSY"><em>YouTube Channel </em></a></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">The final product, Gifted Four and the Case of the Missing Gifts, begins with breaking news: a villain named Gift-Grubber has stolen all the children&#x27;s gifts, plunging the world into a brain fog.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Enter four heroes:</p><p style="line-height:1">- Captain Tili</p><p style="line-height:1">- Brainy Alfie</p><p style="line-height:1">- Maddie Mighty Mind</p><p style="line-height:1">- Javi the Memory Wiz</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Their mission is clear: recover the gifts using focus, creativity, memory, and communication.
