Biography
Arnold Arre has won National Book Awards[1] from the Manila Critics Circle for his graphic novels The Mythology Class (1999), a four-part action-adventure miniseries that was re-released as a Special Collected Edition by Adarna House in 2005 and Trip to Tagaytay (2000), a one-shot future fiction short story. Both were released under his self-owned Tala Comics Publishing. The Mythology Class has the distinction of being the first graphic novel to win in the Manila Critics Circle National Book Awards Comic Books category[1] .
Arre's other titles include the romantic comedy After Eden (2002), published by Adarna House, the self-published Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat (2006), and "Martial Law Babies" (2008), published by Nautilus Comics.
Aside from his comics work, Arre has done numerous design and illustration jobs for various clients such as The San Miguel Foundation for the Performing Arts and Sony BMG Music Entertainment Philippines. He has also taken part in local and international group exhibits and has had a one-man fantasy-themed show, Mythos [2] [3] in 2000.
In 2007, Tony Gloria of Unitel Productions optioned the film rights to Arre's novel Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat.[4] [5]. Arre has mentioned that the project is still under development[6] .
In 2011, Arre learned animation [6] and made a 4-minute short film titled Andong Agimat: Kanya ang Kalye [6] based on the main character in his book Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat. In November 2011 he was commissioned by Rock Ed Philippines and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) to make an animated music video for Kaninong Anino[7] in celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of Filipino hero Jose Rizal. In 2012, he was commissioned by Rock Ed Philippines and the NHCP to make an animated music video for Lupang Hinirang, the Philippine National Anthem [8] . The video was broadcast on national television on June 12, 2012, Independence Day (Philippines). In September 2012, he did a series of educational animated videos titled Tandaan. Kalayaan. Alagaan.[9] to mark the 40th anniversary of the Philippines' freedom from Martial Law. The series was commissioned by Rock Ed Philippines and the National Youth Commission (Philippines).
In July 2013, Arre finished his first 20-minute short film titled Milkyboy [10] [11] . This film went on to win awards at the 25th Gawad CCP Para Sa Alternatibong Pelikula in November 2013[12] , the 7th Animahenasyon (Philippine Animation Festival) in November 2013[13] , and the 30th Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (LAAPFF) in May 2014 where Arre was awarded the Linda Mabalot New Directors/New Visions Award[14] [15], presented to a short film that demonstrates innovative and original use of cinematic language and vision.[16]
Arre is based in Quezon City and is married to graphic designer Cynthia Bauzon [17] .
