Directing

RS Magtaan went from a well-informed know-it-all teen who thought he could change the world to an egotistical utilitarian, absurdist philosopher masquerading as a motivational speaker/multi-faceted artist. RS MAGTAAN (b. 1998, Philippines) is an independent theater and film actor, spoken word artist, writer, video editor, photographer, filmmaker, creative producer, human rights advocate, and visionary. Your all-around egotistical utilitarian. A member of Dakila: Philippine Collective For Modern Heroism, Resident artist and collaborator of Para Sa Sining, PLUS: The Art Collective, and PAPEL. One of the founding directors of We The Future and SINING Collective, Artistic Director of Mementophile Productions, and the Founder of BAON Collective. His expertise and initiatives expand to filmmaking, performative literature, culinary, business, and public service. Magtaan’s interdisciplinary work seeks to contribute to transforming a passive spectator into an active participant through accessible means of creative production. He is constantly looking for collaboration and studying different types of artistic identities from different genres and cultures. All for the main purpose of telling viable stories to inspire individuals to do more than just exist and unearth unifying perspectives of meaningful change. He is currently working as a creative director/managing partner of Create Beyond Dreams while developing his marketing & entertainment collective, OUTLINES.
