The 2D production house, led by third-year students from the UST communication program, is presenting a limited run of two Thomasian-produced shows: The Encounter with episodes airing on 11, 16, 23 April and The Next 'C' with episodes for 7, 14 and 21 May. All episodes are slated for showing from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the UST TigerTV Facebook page.
2D's first show, The Encounter, will bring individuals with opposite lifestyles to meet face-to-face for a series of discussions and interactions on topics of public/private transportation, urban/rural realities and differing views on family dynamics to show just how contrasting perspectives shape the many realities in the country.
The second, a variety-reality show titled The Next 'C,' will gather UST's foremost talents for showdowns on hosting, food reviews and impromptu interviews. This is part of 2D's search for the next big Thomasian host who will exude charisma and its envisioned next "C" trait that follows UST's 3Cs of competence, commitment and compassion.
Central to these shows are two principles that 2D sees as the foundations of good storytelling — being dynamic and driven. These ideals paint 2D's driven effort in producing shows that feature a manner of dynamic and relatable storytelling while advocating for social and character development that are ever-relevant to the youth.
The shows will also give aspiring Thomasian communicators a peek into the thrilling reality of taking up communication in UST — the program behind the country's Sine Reel, which is one of UST's certifications in the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance network, and the school's performance in the annual student Quill awards.
Both shows and their episodes are partial requirements for the course TV Production currently undertaken by third-year communication students and will be conducted at the Buenaventura Garcia Paredes, O.P. Building in UST. 2D is among the three production houses from this year's batch.
