Raz de la Torre has been a professional storyteller in film and television for over two decades and a dedicated educator since 2012. As a screenwriter, he co-wrote beloved films such as A Very Special Love, and as a director, he helmed the top-rating, award-winning and critically acclaimed primetime series A Soldier’s Heart, The Killer Bride, and Maalaala Mo Kaya—all recognised by the Asian Academy Creative Awards.
