Metaverse Filipino Worker

Step into the world of the Metaverse Filipino Worker, a short film exploring how Filipinos are embracing Web3 as a new frontier for work. Born out of the play-to-earn boom of 2021, the concept of the MFW has evolved from players grinding in-game to highly skilled professionals shaping the global decentralized economy.

From the streets of Metro Manila to the fields of Pampanga and Nueva Ecija, take a peek into the lives of key members of YGG Pilipinas — a community manager, an esports captain, a guild leader, a mommy influencer, and more — each forging their own path in the rapidly growing Web3 workforce.

Written, narrated and directed by Leah Callon-Butler, creator of the 2021 short film, Play-to-Earn: NFT Gaming in the Philippines, and original musical score by L!NE OUTS!DE, the collaborative label of Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, and Edgar Sinio, aka Artek606, the film celebrates the ingenuity of digital pioneers who are redefining what it means to work globally.
