It is with profound grief and immense respect that we commemorate the life and legacy of Sue Prado, a true legend in Philippine independent cinema.
Her indelible mark on the industry is profound, exemplified by her powerful performance in Jun Robles Lana’s “Anak Ka Ng Ina Mo” aka “Your Mother’s Son,” a film that spotlighted Filipino talent at the Toronto International Film Festival 2023.
Beyond her artistry, Sue was a pillar of support, championing Sine Institute from its founding, standing firmly behind our first year.
Her absence leaves an irreplaceable void, but her legacy will continue to inspire and live on in cinema and with all of her family, friends and colleagues.
