Pioneer turns Real to Reel with Gen Z Short Film Competition
A decade after the successful launch of its first Youth Campaign, Pioneer Insurance proudly presents Real to Reel, a short film competition that captures the Gen Z POV on how to achieve a better future and inspire action on pressing social issues.
Pioneer recognized how Gen Zs remain socially progressive and hopeful despite growing up in the shadow of a climate crisis, pandemic lockdowns, and economic uncertainties. Real to Reel aims to provide a platform for them to offer fresh perspectives on how to solve pressing social issues and also influence positive change through their filmmaking creativity. With up to P100,000 worth of prizes at stake.
Pioneer Group Head Lorenzo Chan Jr. expressed his support and emphasized the importance of spotlighting the youth perspective, “The ‘Real to Reel’ competition is our way of empowering the younger generation to express their opinions creatively through short films. Their vision of the future can help us light the path towards a better Philippines.”
