2D Production House Showcases Thomasian Talent
The 2D production house, led by third-year students from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Communication program, has launched a limited run of two Thomasian-produced shows on UST TigerTV’s Facebook page.
“The Encounter”
Bringing together individuals with contrasting lifestyles, “The Encounter” features face-to-face discussions and interactions. The series premiered on April 16 and will continue to air on April 23 and 30. Topics covered include public and private transportation, urban and rural realities, and varying views on family dynamics, highlighting how diverse perspectives shape the country’s realities.
“The Next ‘C'”
Following “The Encounter,” 2D will introduce its variety-reality show, “The Next ‘C’,” with episodes releasing on May 7, 14, and 21. This series showcases UST’s top talents in hosting, food reviews, and impromptu interviews. The shows aim to discover the next big Thomasian host who embodies charisma, the envisioned next “C” trait following UST’s 3Cs of competence, commitment, and compassion.
Central to these shows are two principles that 2D considers the foundations of good storytelling: dynamic and driven. These ideals guide 2D in producing shows that feature dynamic and relatable storytelling while advocating for social and character development, crucial for today’s youth.
The shows also provide aspiring Thomasian communicators a peek into the exciting world of pursuing Communication at UST. The program is anchored in Sine Reel, a certification in the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance network, and UST’s performance in the annual student Quill awards.
“The Encounter” and “The Next C” are partial requirements for the TV Production course undertaken by third-year Communication students.
