Born and raised in the Philippines and based in Berlin,  Trinka Lat graduated Cum Laude in 2002 with a BA in Communication Arts at the Ateneo de Manila University, with a focus on advertising and audiovisual production. She started the film production company Brainchild Six and started producing, directing and editing image films, tv commercials and music videos for their Manila and international clientele.  She later studied production design at the Mowelfund Film Institute. Her producing and directing practice has since then guided her design journey. She traverses genres by designing music videos, features for cinema, television and streaming services and an array of TV commercials and narrative shorts.

​

With over twenty years of industry experience as a production designer, set decorator and member of the art department, she seeks out projects and teams who share the same passion and vision for creative world building. 

​

"I love exploring characters and their headspace and expanding that world beyond the script. I use every opportunity to explore the range of emotion through architectural details, patterns, colours, lighting and furniture. My goal is to collaborate with filmmakers who want to push the boundaries of the imagination."

​

Trinka Lat wears many hats and is also a producer, writer, director, curator and multi-media + sound enthusiast. As the curator of the First Reel Philippine Film Festival Berlin, she aims to bring transformative content to the Filipino diaspora and other communities of color.

 

She continues to explore all kinds of adventures in sound, image and space.
