"Cuchera"
Cuchera was Cabrido's first feature film as a producer. It deals with the grim fate of low-rent drug mules and their recruiters. The film was a Finalist at the 7th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival[2] and it had its International Premiere at the Discovery Section of the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).[3] It was also screened at the Stockholm International Film Festival (Main Competition), Cleveland International Film Festival, Belgrade International Film Festival and Fribourg International Film Festival.
TIFF film programmer Steve Gravestock described it as "One of the most shocking debuts in recent Filipino cinema... Cuchera may turn out to be a watershed in Filipino film history — directly linking the melodramatic ferocity of the politically charged works of veteran directors like Joel Lamangan and Carlos Siguion-Reyna with the more intimate style of what some have dubbed the Filipino New Wave."[3]
Nuwebe
Nuwebe was Cabrido's follow up to the film Cuchera as a producer. It tells the story of one of the youngest mothers in Philippine history. It initially received mixed reviews from local critics but went on to have a successful run in international film festivals.

"Children's Show"
"Children's Show was Cabrido's first feature film as a Director. It tells the story of two siblings. Jun and Al lose their mother to suicide after their father leaves her for another woman. The two brothers move in with their grandmother and plug their earnings from semi-legal boxing matches into the family kitty. However, encounters with their heavy-drinking father are even more dangerous. One of these encounters proves devastating for Al, and Jun commits an unspeakable act.
Cabrido uses tension-laden imagery to depict the circumstances that lead people to make momentous decisions. The young filmmaker demonstrates both a keen feel for carefully composed use of setting as well as a rigorous sense of drama.
