Biography
Jerrold Tarog's Heneral Luna redefined Filipino historical cinema when he directed it in 2015, a breakthrough that followed earlier work including the independently-produced feature Confessional (2007), Mangatyanan (2009), and Sana Dati (2013). He is also credited as screenwriter, producer, editor, and composer across his projects, expanding the director's traditional role into multimedia authorship. His subsequent films Bliss (2017) and Goyo: The Boy General (2018) consolidated a reputation for visual and narrative ambition. Beyond features, he directed segments for the Shake, Rattle & Roll horror anthology series, exploring genre flexibility. Born May 30, 1977, in the Philippines, Tarog embodies the Gemini drive toward multiplicity — his simultaneous work in direction, writing, sound design, and editing reflects the sign's natural inclination to juggle competing artistic languages. Screenwriters and directors across cultures typically balance commercial accessibility with formal innovation; Tarog's career has consistently prioritized the latter, building a cult following among critics and festival programmers. As a Filipino auteur working in an industry historically dominated by genre entertainment and American imports, he has carved space for indigenous historical narratives and experimental visual storytelling.
