Bane Ignacio-Singian

biography

Bane Ignacio-Singian (they/he) is a Filipino-American and queer filmmaker based in Seattle, Washington.

As a child, my father and grandmother were always glued to the TV—my father with his early 2000s serials and my grandmother with her TFC soap operas. We lived by a Blockbuster, then later became heavy subscribers to Redbox and Netflix’s mail-in program, so it was no wonder that I fell so deeply in love with the medium. 

​

As an adult, my work is themed around childhood and found family, often under the lens of my cultural and/or gender identity. I also work with the camera department—from DP’ing on MiniDV to writing meticulous camera notes as an AC—and design posters and title sequences for films.
