Why This Film Matters

Floating in Riverview explores the pressure young people feel to choose a direction in life — told through the overlooked world of community college classrooms, restaurant shifts, and small Northern California towns. The film blends the intimacy of first love with the quiet ache of loss, family expectation, and the search for belonging.

This story connects deeply with Gen Z, Asian-American audiences, and anyone who has ever felt stuck between who they are and who they want to be. With its grounded tone, multicultural authenticity, and emotional depth, the film is positioned for strong festival performance and meaningful streaming potential.

  • Universal themes: First love, loss, family, direction, belonging.

  • Defined audience: Young adults • AAPI communities • Fans of grounded romantic dramas.

  • Emotional authenticity: A world rarely seen on screen, grounded in lived texture.

  • Festival-ready tone: Quiet, intimate, character-driven filmmaking.

  • Commercial appeal: Clear streaming potential with strong demographic alignment.

JULIAN SIBAL is a Filipino-American filmmaker whose work explores human connection — the way we love, the way we drift, and the quiet moments in between. His shorts have earned multiple accolades, including Best Director and Best Screenplay at the 2023 Fil-Am Creative Film Festival, as well as the Audience Award for Indie Shorts Mag’s Short of the Year, with over 120,000 views online.

Floating in Riverview is his debut feature film.

Investment Opportunity

Floating in Riverview is positioned to enter a growing market hungry for authentic, character-driven stories centered on young adulthood, culture, and connection. As one of the few Filipino-American directors in Hollywood, Julian brings a unique and necessary perspective to a space with rising audience demand and limited competition.

The film is designed for strong festival play and a targeted release strategy. After submitting to major festivals, the plan includes a limited theatrical rollout, followed by placement on a major streaming platform such as Amazon Prime or Tubi — platforms that actively acquire independent films across romance, drama, and AAPI storytelling.

With a well-defined audience — AAPI viewers, fans of romance and drama, and young adults 18–34 — Floating in Riverview is built for discoverability, word-of-mouth momentum, and long-term streaming value. Films in this space often find sustained life through online communities, social media sharing, and niche cultural markets.

Julian’s previous work, including Jake the Failure, has demonstrated proven reach and audience impact, earning more than 120,000 views through UK-based Million Youth Media and winning multiple awards across festivals. This track record shows Julian’s ability to deliver emotionally resonant films on limited budgets while maximizing audience engagement.
