PHILIPPINES – Ever wondered how the phone in your pocket could make a difference in tackling climate change? That’s exactly what award-winning filmmaker Joseph Abello is doing with the vivo V40! In his new short film for Mga Kwento ng Klima 2024, Abello uses the V40’s ZEISS-engineered, professional-grade camera to capture the harsh reality of water scarcity in Cainta, Rizal. It’s a personal project for Abello, who hopes his film inspires us to act on climate issues impacting Pinoy communities.

Capturing climate change with creativity

Abello’s short film, Water for Three Sisters, dives deep into the unique Filipino experience of climate change. The film, shot entirely on the vivo V40, brings audiences face-to-face with real issues impacting local communities, using cinematic quality usually reserved for expensive equipment.

“With the V40, I could tell our climate story in a high-quality way without breaking the bank,” Abello says, crediting the phone’s 4K capabilities and budget-friendly production value. As a loyal vivo user, he knows firsthand how the brand empowers his craft.

A trusted tool for meaningful work

Switching from the vivo V21 to the V40 for this project, Abello saw the potential in its 50MP triple camera setup, developed with the expertise of ZEISS optics. “This was the ideal tool to showcase something important. I want people to feel the story as if it were captured on high-end cameras,” he explains.
