Winston (Short Documentary)

Combining jazz and Philippine ethnic instruments build the foundation of Winston’s unique musical style, earning him the title as the country’s most influential film composer. His contributions to Philippine cinema stretch from the 70s to 80s, lending his gift to classics like Manila by Night, Ikaw ay Akin, and Himala.

Although he has many accomplishments to his name, Winston continues to strive for more, for brand new sounds, and for musical perfection.
