Early life and education

Dakip Oebanda was born in Iloilo City, Philippines, to Cecilia and Ricardo Flores-Oebanda.[1] His spent his early childhood in prison, as both of his parents were political detainees during the martial law period in the Philippines.[2][3] He earned a bachelor's degree in Economics from San Beda College and later obtained a master's degree in Economics and Management from the Asian Institute of Management.[1] Despite his academic background, Oebanda's passion for filmmaking led him to pursue a career in the industry.[1]

Film career

[edit]

Oebanda began his career in the Philippine film industry as an assistant director and production designer. His early work involved collaborating on films such as Shift (2013), directed by Siege Ledesma.[1] This earned him a nomination for Best Production Design at the 2014 Gawad Urian Awards.[4]

Oebanda's directorial debut came with the drama thriller film Tumbang Preso (2014),[5] for which he also had writing credits. The film took place in a sardine factory and tackled the issue of human trafficking in the Philippines.[6][7] It received critical acclaim from critics.[8] He won the Best IFC Pitch at the Manila Film Financing Forum for the film.[2][9] The same year, he was also the assistant director for Bukas na Lang, Sapagkat Gabi Na.[1] Oebanda was part of the editing team for the 2016 film Patay na si Hesus.[10]

In 2017, Oebanda received increased attention for Bar Boys, a film he directed, co-produced, and wrote.[11] The film earned three wins and seven nominations from various award-giving bodies.[12] Oebanda received a Best Screenplay nomination at the Gawad Urian Awards[13] and was also nominated for Indie Movie Director of the Year at the PMPC Star Awards for Movies.[14] He also wrote and directed the horror film Nay, an entry for the Cinema One Originals Film Festival the same year. The horror film was an allegory to the controversial war on drugs in the Philippines during the Duterte regime.[1] It received seven nominations, with Oebanda nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.[15]

In 2018, Oebanda would direct the semi-autobiographical film, Liway, which was well-received by critics. He received another PMPC Star Awards for Movies nomination for Indie Movie Director of the Year[16] as well as a nomination for Indie Movie Screenwriter of the Year, which he shared with Zig Dulay.
