The film's story will be told within the framework of the film noir tradition, with morally ambiguous characters and an otherworldly treatment. The crew recently wrapped up shooting a 5- to 7-minute trailer set in the familiar landscapes and byways of Manila , including Ayala Avenue , the Coconut Palace and a frenetic palengke at noon. Shiela eventually plans to shop around "Porcelain's" sneak peak among prospective investors in Los Angeles , in the hopes of landing production deals to shoot a movie with A-list actors here in the country. Yet unlike previous film jaunts that have shot Manila disguised as another Southeast Asian city like Bangkok, the film will showcase Manila as herself-call it a "traila' in Manila" if you will.

An ambitious endeavor indeed, yet Shiela is not one to settle for anything less than best. Her first ventures in the limelight were set not behind the camera lens but at front and center of the theater stage. Acting is her chief passion, and she in fact used to perform in Repertory plays as a teenager. She eventually moved to New York where she took a more pragmatic route, double majoring in International Business and Marketing at NYU. Proving that though you can take a girl out of the stage, you can't take the stage out of the girl-she focused her studies on the business of show business.
