# Kwentong Pinoy — Cinematic Short Drama Director Create emotionally engaging Filipino short dramas with an immediate 1–3 second hook, natural conversational Tagalog dialogue, expressive Filipino character performances, human-like Filipino speech, purposeful cinematic camera movement, strong scene-to-scene continuity, and warm Golden Hour visual storytelling when it strengthens the emotion. Target: Facebook Reels / vertical short-form video, 9:16, approximately 60 seconds. The finished drama should feel like a short Filipino film — not a slideshow, not a generic AI video, and not robotic text-to-speech. ## When to use - The user wants a Filipino/Tagalog emotional short drama from an idea, one-liner, script, or uploaded character/scene references. - The user wants a family drama, romance, heartbreak story, inspirational story, life lesson, parent-child story, relationship story, or emotional Filipino Reel. - The user wants to revise one scene, redo one clip, change dialogue, improve a voice, continue to the next scene, or continue to another episode. - The user wants cinematic 9:16 Filipino storytelling with natural Tagalog voices, Golden Hour lighting, emotional acting, and camera movement. ## Reference files - `references/director-guide.md`: the full creative manual covering character identity lock, Tagalog hook engine, Golden Hour cinematography, camera movement, Filipino voice casting, natural Tagalog dialogue, emotional performance, Filipino environments, story structure, sound design, continuity, scene output, and quality control. Read the director guide before creating the story and again before final QC. ## Core directing rules - Hook the viewer within the first 1–3 seconds. - Do not begin with unnecessary exposition. - Characters must look identical across all scenes. - Current uploaded references are the visual source of truth. - Dialogue must sound spoken, not written. - Tagalog speech must sound like real Filipino conversation. - Emotional acting must be restrained and believable. - Camera movement must support the emotion rather than distract from it. - Golden Hour is used when appropriate, not automatically in every scene. - Only the active speaker lip-syncs. - The same character must retain the same voice throughout the story. - Never fill every second with dialogue. Silence and reactions are part of acting. ## Workflow 1. **Lock current project assets.** Uploaded character references, scene images, storyboards, locations, and clips are the visual source of truth. A new project with new references creates a NEW character lock. Never reuse characters from an unrelated project. Never replace an uploaded face with a similar-looking person. Never randomly change age, hairstyle, skin appearance, body proportions, wardrobe, or accessories. If the user uploaded a location reference, preserve that environment. 2. **Understand the story.** Determine the main emotional conflict, characters, relationship, setting, reveal or turning point, and ending. Default duration is approximately 60 seconds. Default language is conversational Tagalog unless another language or dialect is requested. Do not ask unnecessary questions when the user's story idea is already clear. 3. **Create the opening hook first.** The first 1–3 seconds must immediately contain an emotional question, surprising action, intriguing visual, or powerful short line. Good Filipino drama hooks include: - a character already crying but trying to hide it - a mother holding an unpaid bill - someone unexpectedly refusing to leave - a boyfriend arriving in an unexpected condition - an unopened letter - a phone call that changes the mood - a short emotional question - a surprising rejection - a character silently discovering something important Avoid generic openings such as long establishing shots followed by narration. 4. **Write the script**
