As the curtain closes on 2024, the FTV team, led by Cherie, takes a moment to reflect on their collective journey over the past year. Joined by Filbert, Jeff, Kyle, Anjo, and Drei, the discussion shines a light on the team’s growth, challenges, and successes, setting the stage for an exciting 2025.
A Year of Achievements and Challenges
The year’s standout project was Pintor, FTV’s second film, which pushed the team to their creative and logistical limits. From filming in a rundown motel that perfectly captured the grittiness of the story, to navigating unexpected challenges on set, Pintor became a testament to the team’s adaptability and dedication.
The team also made waves with their comedic series Da Opis, a fresh and experimental approach that resonated with audiences. Initially hesitant about venturing into comedy, the team embraced spontaneity, creating a relatable and entertaining series that showcased their lighter side.
Expanding Horizons
2024 marked a significant shift for FTV as we prioritized social media. This transition opened doors to real-time audience engagement and expanded our reach beyond traditional TV. A highlight of this shift was our live streaming of Filipino basketball events, which brought communities together and drew record-breaking viewership.
Meanwhile, the Immigration 101 series provided much-needed clarity and support to immigrants navigating Canada’s evolving policies. By featuring expert insights and legal advice, the show became a trusted resource for viewers facing real-world challenges.
Personal Growth and Team Spirit
The year wasn’t just about professional achievements. Team members shared heartfelt reflections on their personal milestones, such as Cherie celebrating her 50th birthday and 30 years in journalism, and Drei stepping into new leadership roles. The camaraderie among the team was palpable, with everyone expressing gratitude for each other’s contributions.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we step into 2025, the team is united by a shared vision of growth and creativity. From producing more engaging content to fostering stronger connections with their audience, FTV aims to build on the momentum of 2024. With a renewed focus on collaboration and innovation, the future looks bright for this dedicated group of storytellers.
A Message to Viewers
Our FTV team thanks the community for the unwavering support throughout 2024. As we continue to create meaningful content and tackle new challenges, we invite everyone to join us on this exciting journey. Here’s to a bigger, brighter, and bolder 2025!
