9. Raya Martin
He is the first Filipino director and filmmaker accepted into the Cinéfondation Résidence of the Cannes Film Festival under the age of 30. His residency at the said international organization is his drive from his failures to ace a job in Manila. His unorthodox taste in filmmaking style is often recognized on film festivals that led his masterpieces to be shown to different countries looking for a different genre of film direction.
Best features: His baby-face young looks with contrasting tattoo illustration in the neck. Artist’s stubble and geek eyeglasses fashion sense.
Works: How to Disappear Completely, Autohysteria, Now Showing (trilogy), The Great Cinema Party
