OMG BFF LOL is a three-part animation that is part of Charlie White’s Girl Studies series. The animations introduce Tara and Blakey, two American teens caught up in the ecstatic fervor of shopping and the melancholy dilemmas of boredom and emotional fragility. Spun out like a serialized cartoon, OMG BFF LOL operates like a Trojan horse for White’s critique of America’s cycle of consumption and repulsion. It acts as a monologue on the terror of “wanting vs. having” and the girls' need to find gravity in the levity and privilege that they take for granted.

In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station.

Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.

Through seven scenes, the film follows the life and destinies of stray dogs from the margins of our society, leading us to reconsider our attitude towards them. Through the seven “wandering” characters that we follow at different ages, from birth to old age, we witness their dignified struggle for survival. At the cemetery, in an abandoned factory, in an asylum, in a landfill, in places full of sorrow, our heroes search for love and togetherness. By combining documentary material, animation and acting interpretation of the thoughts of our heroes, we get to know lives between disappointment and hope, quite similar to ours.
