letters of solitude make me happy

Despite the challenges, my hard work in preparing a convincing pitch has paid off. I got the grant! I’m one of ten filmmakers who will be receiving a 1 million pesos (roughly US$22,000) seed fund from Cinema One Originals. The film entries and their fi…

the pitch

My pitch took eighty minutes. I was distracted, incoherent and way too relaxed it would seem that I was just talking to friends over bottles of beer.
I was two hours early in the venue. “Why don’t you go down and have coffee first,” the coordinato…

i will be japanese today.

Since I’m on the subject of Japan today, I’ll devote my Monday to everything Japanese. I’m going to watch two Japanese themed films. Three if I could manage it. First would be Return of Godzilla.

Godzilla was conceived as a monster created by n…

#499: I Come With The Rain (Tran Anh Hung, 2009)

I think this is a bad film to start off from someone who has yet to see Scent of Green Papaya. I Come With The Rain was partly shot in Diwalwal, Compostela Valley province in Mindanao, Philippines – roughly around 4-5 hours (with the terrain in Diwal…

The 500 Film Challenge: Another Year (Mike Leigh, 2010)

I assure you that the film to start off the challenge wasn’t deliberately chosen at all, unintentional really. But to make pure coincidence interesting in this whole challenge, Mike Leigh’s ode to old age and aging, Another Year, is a gunshot that …

I am ready for my close-up.

And I am ready for this challenge. I am up for it, I think I am. It’s possible, but the odds are somewhat insurmountable. But I would like to be unassuming. Dahil malay mo, I might actually clinch this. That would be the greatest. This is what I call t…

open season

My filmmaker-friend X was in the mountains for fifteen days shooting his fourth film. He sent me an SMS this morning. “I just arrived in Davao. No cellphone signal in our location shoot in Misamis. Did they announce the Urian nominees already?”

2009 IN FILM

Because I’ve delayed this list for the longest time and because it’s virtually impossible to stuff all the remaining films to see in one day. Anyway, this list might change as I painstakingly go through the unwatched heap. (At na-inspire akong mag-layo…
