Greg Manalo was bitten by the acting bug in 1997 and hasn't found a cure yet. He is a resident artist at Bindlestiff Studio, the epicenter for Filipino American performing arts. He has performed original work with groups Overseas Artist - O. A. Naman and Brothers Keeper - The Renaissance. He develops his performance aesthetic everyday and it can be best described as 'forward thinking/physical theater/martial art/improv/spoken word/hip hop/remix' theater. Gregory recently transitioned into short films and loves it. His greater aspirations are to write, direct and act in his own feature length films. Little known fact: As a child knew he wanted to become an actor while watching Bruce Lee and Police Academy movies. Gregory would like to thank everyone at World Frequency Films, all cast and crew for the opportunity to work and learn with such a great team.

She loves watching films from other countries, especially Chinese/Hong Kong and Bollywood films. Her parents encouraged her to study hard and wanted her to become a doctor or lawyer.
