Carlo Ledesma is a Filipino-Australian filmmaker known for his feature films Outside, Sunod, and The Tunnel. In 2004, Carlo ventured to Australia to pursue a master’s degree in film. His thesis project, The Haircut, clinched the Mini Movie Channel Award for Best Short Film at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. That same year, he directed My Game, a feature-length documentary for Nike that delved into the Philippines’ deep-rooted passion for basketball. Carlo’s narrative feature debut came in 2011 with the found-footage horror The Tunnel, distributed by Paramount Pictures in Australia and New Zealand. The film earned him the Best Australian Director award at the 2011 Night of Horror Film Festival. Returning to the Philippines in 2012, Carlo quickly made a name for himself as a top television commercial and content director, co-founding the production house MAKINA.
