I first became aware of Reymond Delos Reyes through his interviews with inspiring business figures on Youtube. Through his platform, he had a way of drawing out practical wisdom from entrepreneurs like stories of persistence, reinvention, and growth that resonated with many aspiring founders. As an entrepreneur himself, it was only a matter of time before Delos Reyes expanded beyond conversations and began building something new.
That next step recently unfolded with the launch of RDR Films and RDR Stories, an initiative introducing AI-powered filmmaking to the Philippine creative landscape. The premiere event, held at the TNC Group building in Cubao on March 10, drew entrepreneurs, content creators, media partners, film enthusiasts, and individuals curious about how artificial intelligence could reshape storytelling in the country.
During the media conference, Delos Reyes explained that his goal was to demonstrate just how close artificial intelligence has come to replicating real-life storytelling. “Gusto kong ipakita sa inyo ngayong lahat that artificial intelligence is close to real, as in close to real,” RDR said as he introduced the project. He continued by sharing that their team plans to continuously produce films that can reach millions of Filipinos. “So, tuluy-tuloy kaming gagawa ng mga pelikula na mapapanood ng milyun-milyong Pilipino na makakatulong sa kanila upang makapagbigay ng inspirasyon, makapagbigay ng edukasyon at higit sa lahat, motivation para magpatuloy silang lalong magpursige sa buhay.”
For Delos Reyes, the vision behind the project is deeply personal. “Kasi yun lang naman talaga ang pakay ko mula nang gumawa ako ng content na maniwala sa maraming tao, sa milyun-milyong mga tao na puwede ka palang umasenso dito sa Pilipinas, puwede ka palang yumaman dito sa Pilipinas, posible pala, kaya pala, kahit nasa bahay lang,” he added.
The launch marked a significant step in blending technology, storytelling, and entrepreneurship, presenting a new way of producing films and digital content with the help of artificial intelligence.
A New Kind of Filipino Storytelling
At the center of the launch were two content platforms: RDR Films and RDR Stories.
RDR Films aims to produce cinematic narratives rooted in Filipino experiences, while RDR Stories focuses on real-life journeys of entrepreneurs and individuals carving out their own paths to success.
Both projects utilize artificial intelligence in their production process, demonstrating how emerging technology can assist creators in developing films and digital content more efficiently. Rather than replacing creativity, the team positions AI as a tool that can support storytelling, helping creators bring ideas to life in ways that were previously difficult or costly to produce.
For the group behind the initiative, the goal extends beyond entertainment. They hope the platform will encourage Filipinos to explore new technologies and see them as opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship, and creative expression.
Alongside the storytelling projects, the team also introduced an AI filmmaking production service, designed to help entrepreneurs and organizations transform their own stories into compelling digital content.
The Story Behind the Storyteller
One of the highlights of the evening was the first public screening of the life story of Reymond Delos Reyes himself—the founder of RDR Business Solutions Inc. and host of the podcast RDR Talks.
The podcast has become known for its conversations about entrepreneurship, mindset, and personal development. But the film revealed a lesser-known chapter of Delos Reyes’ own journey.
Before his platforms reached wide audiences, his content creation efforts were far from easy. In the early days, he handled much of the work manually and often saw only a small number of viewers engaging with his material. At the same time, he experimented with several business ventures, navigating setbacks that are familiar to many entrepreneurs.
Despite the challenges, he continued producing content and sharing insights about business and life—an effort that eventually paid off.
Today, his digital platforms have expanded significantly, generating millions—and in some cases billions—of views across digital channels. Through online communities, podcasts, and live events, his content has reached tens of thousands of people seeking guidance in building businesses and improving their lives.
A Platform Meant to Inspire
According to the RDR team, the broader mission of their projects is to inspire Filipinos from different backgrounds to pursue innovation and entrepreneurship.
Their content is particularly aimed at several groups navigating important transitions in their lives:
- Overseas Filipino workers who hope to return home and start businesses in the Philippines
- Gen Z individuals who want to create their own opportunities
- Employees transitioning into entrepreneurship
- Experienced entrepreneurs interested in integrating AI into their ventures
Through storytelling, podcasts, and community events, the initiative hopes to encourage more Filipinos to explore innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology.
A Spotlight on the “Kontrabida”
The event also introduced Kontrabida Talks, a new podcast hosted by veteran actress Jean Garcia, widely known for her iconic villain roles in Filipino television and films.
In the podcast, Garcia will interview fellow actors who have portrayed memorable antagonists on screen. The show aims to reveal the real personalities behind these characters, offering audiences a different and more personal perspective on the performers behind some of television’s most unforgettable villains.
The Beginning of an AI Storytelling Movement
As the evening concluded, organizers thanked the entrepreneurs, media partners, creators, and supporters who attended the launch.
For the RDR team, the event represents only the beginning of a broader movement to introduce AI-powered filmmaking and storytelling in the Philippines. By combining creativity with technology, the initiative hopes to open new doors for creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators navigating the digital age.
