Hi there!

I’m Deyo! Thanks for stopping by my webpage! Here you’ll find a hub of my works, thoughts, and hopefully a little sense of who I am. So please grab a drink and some popcorn like this guy in fig 1.1, and continue scrolling below to learn more about me or go ahead and navigate to the Theater, Gallery, or Meditations at the top of the page!

My goodness, I’m in love with film. It all started in the early days of watching In Living Color at probably a way too young age. I looooved the entertainment and the way that show made me laugh, which continued on into a string of watching multi-cam sitcoms during the best time for that medium, the 90’s. Then to immediately follow that with the string of Jim Carrey movies in ‘94-’95 and that was it. From then on I knew I wanted to be in entertainment. Acting or telling jokes, “just let me do my thing to help make people smile,” is what I initially thought.

Then something seemingly so clear but so unexpected happened as I spent years studying acting and building a process.

It was helping me become a better person.

How could we not when we are tasked to investigate these lives and see where the truth and honesty lies for anyone as a human being.

And in that I learned I am not just an actor or filmmaker, but I am a human. And I am most definitely an uncle (or in Tagalog as my nephews likes to call me, a tito). I am an empath who sees more grey than black and white. I am someone lucky enough to have a loving immigrant family, one that has looked out and paved every which way they can for me to succeed. In a traditional sense? No! But they taught me how to be a caring and nurturing human being. And with only one life to live, that is success.

I’m a Filipino, I’m an American, I’m a 90’s kid, I’m a groover, I’m an intellect. I smile, I laugh, I cry. I’m a forever student.. I’m a gamer, I’m a Tito, I’m a card mechanic, I’m a weirdo, I’m up quarks, down quarks, and electrons. And it would be my honor to be the bridge between you and the understanding of another life.
