For the past months, Kuris Animators have been going through a lot of transitions. They are eager to learn and spend more time honing their skills as well as passion for their chosen craft. They have been busy coping up with the pressure of several projects and positive feedback.

He admired how this small group of artists bravely faced the odds and proved that Ilonggo animators create something great out of their passion.

Sir Karlo: It’s always fun to be with them. We compliment each other’s unique personalities and talents. We learn a lot of things together not only as their former instructor but as a team member. Whatever hardship and challenges comes along the way, we can easily overcome it because we make sure that we did our best.

Sir Karlo: I always say this to them—just believe in your dreams and live your passion. Stay humble and contented with what you have. Learn to share everything and keep moving on.
Hex: The BEQUEST and Kuris were recently mentioned in the blog of a famous Australian blogger—Brian Gorrell, a local newspaper also made a news article about their appearance in that blog, do you think it really made a difference?
Sir Karlo: The group has always been optimistic and passionate with what they do so it’s a compliment to be appreciated by Gorrell. The BEQUEST is a proof of their hardwork, dedication and perseverance to share something great for Ilonggo culture so I am glad that lots of people truly appreciate their talents right now. And I hope the future would be much better for them and their dreams.
Hex: Last query, are you contented with the kind of direction Kuris is heading for?
Sir Karlo: Sure, they never stop learning, developing their skills and talents. They’re not afraid to risk and pursue the things they like to do. Right now, I am contented with the way people are recognizing their effort and appreciating their goal to uplift Ilonggo culture through animation.
