SPEAKERS

James Palabay of Digital Art Chefs, Inc.
James Palabay has a BA degree on Communication Arts from
UPLB and had a short course at Stanford University in 1998 on
publishing and printing. He was a participant in a Netherlands
exchange program in 1999. He has had experience producing
original Intellectual Properties (IPs) since the inception of
Culture Crash Comics which broke 20 year comic book sales
in the Philippines and has yet to be matched as of the present.
After finding that the local system for publishing was far from
ideal, he shifted to outsourcing where he has helped create and
oversee production for globally known brands and entertainment
companies. In particular, he has helped developed IPs for US,
UK and Japan based companies, many of which are under
non-disclosure agreements. Most recently, he has been involved
in re-developing a new animation series based on a Warner
Bros. owned property.

N&N Corsino
Nicole Corsino & Norbert Corsino are choreographers and
researchers. Interested in the kinetics of bodies and landscapes,
Nicole & Norbert Corsino explore areas where dance can appear
suddenly and be written to show how the movement of bodies
modifies them. They change dance performance spaces to
show their choreographic fictions in the form of films and
installations, particularly with the series of seven fictions on
seaports, called Circumnavigation.

Kriss Sison of Gunship Revolution
Between his International Manga Award and his bestselling
books on Amazon Japan, Gunship Revolution Co-owner and
Creative Director Kriss Sison is one of the most accomplished
manga artists in the country. He’s done projects for industry
heavyweights Disney, Hasbro, Mattel, Capcom, Lucasfilm and
Qantas Airlines with works released for such tentpole titles
as Transformers, Star Wars, Mega Man, Darkstalkers and
Robotech. Closer to home, he’s the artist behind memorable
local titles such as Ninja Girl Ko and the iconic murals of the
Yabu Restaurant Chain.
