It looks good (for low light), but can you briefly describe the light setup? It looks like it was all using availiable, but it is are to make out what was creating it. Also, what lens did you shoot with?

I also watched your video '5 people multiple answers: Filipino Culture" it looked nice. It was a good comp for the subject matter. The editing made it more interesting than if you stayed w/ one person throughout. The only thing I didn't like is all that talk of great Filipino food is making me hungry. Now I have to find something to eat.

I used available light, I set up the laptop for her face, and some light from the bathroom partially lit the room; it was pretty dark in there.

for the low light I used a Sigma 30mm 1.4, and for the interviews I used Canon 50mm 1.8, and the Sigma for one shot.

thanks for the comment!
