Thank you, Audrey Dugast (Eastasia), for the wonderful review of i grew an inch when my father died.

“Filmed entirely on an iPhone, the first feature film by Filipino director PR Monencillo Patindol impresses with its technical and narrative mastery.

After two acclaimed short films (Still in 2016, then Shoredust in 2024), Patindol continues his humanist exploration of grief and brotherhood in his first feature film, imbued with the spirit of place.”

Thank you, Grégory Coutaut and Le Polyester, for this thoughtful review of I Grew an Inch When My Father Died, following its Swiss premiere at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival.

“The filmmaker’s ambition is equally visual, and in this respect, I Grew an Inch When My Father Died is a revelation. The jungle is presented not in black and white but bathed in a washed-out grey monochrome unlike anything seen before, where the only traces of colour evoke a mysterious nostalgia, as though the film had been rediscovered after lying abandoned in the jungle for years.”

“I grew an inch when my father died announces the arrival of an audacious filmmaker steadily shaping his cinematic language — a desaturated vision befitting a Rotterdam debut.”

Thank you for the interview, Lé Baltar.
