Layla Bautista will produce "Beginner's Luck": 🎥
Two friends play a game of chess. One is an intermediate and one is a beginner. However, when the game starts to heat up, we get to see the pieces as if they're in real life - showcasing not only the battle of the minds but also a literal one. Who will win? ♟
Layla Bautista is a half Filipina-Canadian born and raised in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Canada. Layla started her film career at age 18 after she dropped out of University and quit all three of her jobs. She was then given the opportunity to shadow a local filmmaker who showed her into the world of film! From there, she created Bokeh Media. Through Bokeh Media, Layla works as a freelancer on film sets and produces her own shorts and music videos. Layla is always open to learning and exploring new opportunities in order to expand her skill set! 📸
Bautista: "Having 'Beginner's Luck' selected for the RIFFA Launch Pad is a great feeling! As the director, I'm excited to share this story and expand my skill set; but most importantly, I'm also excited to work on a project that will showcase the skills and talents of emerging Saskatchewan artists." 🙌
'Beginner's Luck' will screen at RIFFA 2025, August 13-23. 📆
