Open Call for Filipino Production Designers
This year, Pop Up Film Residency expands its presence in Southeast Asia through a partnership with the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP), launching two new residency awards that empower Filipino filmmakers and production designers while strengthening international collaboration.
The Skill Up Award marks Pop Up’s first residency dedicated to Filipino production designers. Open through a national call, it aims to nurture emerging designers who seek to elevate their craft and engage in creative exchange with international mentors and peers.
The selected resident will embark on a three-week international residency hosted by one of Pop Up’s global partners, with tailored mentorship, accommodation, travel support, and access to local industry networks.
Eligible applicants must have worked on at least one feature or two short films and be developing a new feature project.
Applications open: October 30, 2025
Residencies take place: March–August 2026
