Tres is a 2014 Filipino anthology drama film produced by the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) as part of its "Sine Panitik" (transl. Cine Literate) project. Directed by Jose N. Carreon, William G. Mayo and Edgardo "Boy" Vinarao, all of whom being established filmmakers in the action genre,[3][4][5][6] Tres adapts three local short stories that have won a Palanca Award: "Faith, Love, Time and Dr. Lazaro" by George C. Brillantes, "Tata Selo" by Rogelio Sikat, and "Sandaang Damit" by Fanny A. Garcia.
With its production funded by the FAP, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the film was made available for screenings in schools in late 2014, with a theatrical distribution strategy being abandoned due to piracy concerns. It was also screened as an entry to the 2nd QCinema International Film Festival on November 8, 2014.
