Teody Carmona

Teody Carmona started working for LVN Studios in 1946. His brother-in-law, Richard Abelardo, helped him to land a job as an Art Director for LVN Studios. For easy accessibility to movie sets, Teody was given a special privilege to reside inside the studio compound. He was already married with two children when they moved in. His biggest achievement was when he won Southeast Asian Film Festival Best Art Direction for Anak Dalita on June 16, 1956 followed by Famas Best Art Direction on March 30, 1957 for the same movie. In his spare time he wrote stories. One story he made (Anak Ng Berdugo) was made into a movie. In 1961, LVN Studios decided to close, and that ended his work after fifteen years as an Art Director. He ventured into creating his own business and he became successful in his own craft. In 1993, he died of heart attack.
