Project Overview: The project was a visual and video storytelling campaign, "NextDayBetter x AARP: Filipino American Disruptors," designed to celebrate the stories of Filipino-American disruptors and increase awareness of their contributions to American history. Visually, we tell their story through the media of the era: old newspapers, print ads, and vintage movie posters. It’s a deliberate time-travel aesthetic—designed to make history feel immediate and personal. Our aim is empathy, recognition, and a final lift: the audience seeing their own capacity for greatness.
The core message was framed around: "Filipino Americans Are Disruptors," "Our stories are untold," and a call to action to "empower the next generation of disruptors".
