Bringing Filipino stories to the global stage takes authenticity—and DreamWorks’ Forgotten Island delivers just that. 🇵🇭✨
Inspired by Philippine mythology, it needed to sound authentic, so DreamWorks came to the Philippines and tapped Hit Productions to be part of the journey.
Our team recorded the Las Piñas Bamboo Organ—a two-century-old instrument unlike anything else in the world. We also recorded vocalists from Lake Sebu, carrying the music of Mindanao’s highlands into the heart of the film. Finally, we recorded sessions with Lea Salonga for her role as Manang, welcoming one of our most beloved performing artists into the story. 🎙️
For composer Nathan Matthew David, the Las Piñas sessions were a highlight: “...the entire Hit Productions fam were incredible in recording the bamboo pipe organ for Forgotten Island. The recordings were technically flawless and sonically delicious. They truly helped in capturing a historic and iconic sonic signature in the film’s music.”
Several of the film’s most distinctive sounds were recorded by Filipinos, in the Philippines. A real Pinoy Pride moment. 🙌🏼
Forgotten Island is now showing in cinemas. TAYO NA!
