Time Before Kevin

Directed by Raine Gado

Set in a near future, Kevin, a young scientist haunted by his childhood memories, attempts to construct a time machine that brings him back to his past. After numerous setbacks, the machine springs to life! But to his surprise, the machine takes him to a realm saturated with pictures of his adolescence, where his memories had become toxic to the core of his true self. Kevin attempts to enter each memory, but cannot bare seeing his younger self burdened with the suppression of his true identity. With a new way to assure and be the hero to his younger self, he is determined to change the story that had already been written.


Raine Gado’s artistic inclination leaned toward the visual and playful aspects of the craft, which naturally led him to specialize as a production designer. He is known for his work in Jaime Morados’ “Ang Pagliligtas sa Dalagang Bukid” in Qcinema International film Festival, as well as his contributions to various OPM music videos and short films in both design and assisting roles. Now immersing into the world of directing, his storytelling approach delves into profound themes of self-discovery and LGBTQ+ perspectives, often interwoven with captivating supernatural elements.
