Miko Revereza is an experimental filmmaker from Manila.[1] Revereza lived in the United States as an undocumented immigrant; an experience which informs his work.[2] He holds an MFA from Bard College, but has no undergraduate degree.[3] In 2021, he won the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Filmmaking and his short films have been featured by the Criterion Collection.[4][5]

No Data Plan was filmed during a cross-country train journey by Revereza and includes audio from conversations with his mother about immigration held on a burner phone. It was listed as one of the best films of 2019 by BFI's Sight & Sound International Film Magazine, Hyperallergic, and CNN Philippines.[6][7] The film was screened at several locations, including the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art and the National Gallery of Art.[8][9]

In Nowhere Near, the filmmaker returns to the Philippines to reckon with a "family curse" and the legacy of imperialism.[10] It was included in the Marché du Film de Cannes Docs Showcase.[11] It received funding through a Purin Pictures grant, the Open City Documentary Festival's Assembly Grant, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam's Hubert Bals Fund Bright Future Award.[12][13][14]
