Aureaus and his team were shooting this film when I was in El Nido. Because El Nido is a small community, I know a lot of people who worked in this film. The production team themselves stayed at Makulay Lodge and Villas, some actors and mentors (like my friend Rej of Kontra Gapi who helped choreograph and teach the dance) were from Potter’s Place School, and so many more. I saw them around a lot. The crew was on Hama Street when I took the photo walk so I could not take photos of Asylum Bar and Marina Garden. We were also hanging out with them on this day, when they were still doing the ocular.

In the slum of Capão Redondo in São Paulo, the twenty-third anniversary of Marco Aurélio a.k.a. Macu will be celebrated with a “feijoada” (a typical Brazilian dish of black beans and pork) and beers promoted by his mother Dona Sônia and their closest friends. Among the guests are Macu’s childhood best friends Jaiminho, who plays soccer in Spain and is waiting to be summoned by the coach to the national team, and Pibe, who has a baby and is living with Macu’s former girlfriend Claudia. Macu owes money to the dangerous criminal Serjão and Napão and will host a boy that will be kidnapped by the delinquents in order to pay for his debts. Along the day, Macu stays with Jaiminho and Pibe recalling their childhood together. By the end of the day, Serjão and Napão tell Macu that they have changed their plans and the kid will not be kidnapped, but Jaiminho instead. Further, he shall meet the powerful Dr. Venceslau for further instructions. Now Macu is to be on the horns of a dilemma between his friendship for Jaiminho and the fear for the gang of his slum

Directed by Brillante Mendoza
Written by Brillante Mendoza, Patrick Bancarel, Boots Agbayani Pastor, and Arlyn dela Cruz
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Kathy Mulville, Mark Zanetta, Raymond Bagatsing, Joel Torre, Mon Confiado, Maria Isabel Lopez, Ronnie Lazaro, Sid Lucero, Mercedes Cabral, Neil Ryan Sese, Rustica Carpio, Angel Aquino, and many others.
Runtime: 120mins
***
Filipino director Brillante Mendoza is back with another grim kidnapping story inspired by the May 2001 kidnapping of local and foreign tourists in Dos Palmas Resort in Palawan by Abu Sayyaf. Though weaker in terms of shock and quality as his 2009 film Kinatay and the film failed to win any award at the Berlin film festival held last February, it received the highest rating from the Film Development Council of the Philippines’ Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB).
It had its Philippine premiere at the Citi-Rustan’s French Film Festival, and is now being seen and heard in the Philippines through various reviews and social media support.
Richard Bolisay, Oggs Cruz and Jessica Zafra each wrote a review on the film.

Eseng Cruz (director and scriptwriter) of the full-length Independent Film, “Limang Dipang Tao”, finalist for the Second Leg (Ikalawang Yugto): Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival, of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), is asking for your support in his first-ever full-length project. They are currently shooting the film, but are still in the process of looking for investors/producers/sponsors to have additional funds from the initial grant of FDCP.
Deadline of submission for the final cut is set on 1st of October 2012. They are badly in need of your support so they can proceed in funding quality equipment, allot fees that are rightly due to professional and non-professional actors, and spare funds to post-production materials (i.e. editing, musical scoring, etc.). Your help will be greatly appreciated. Be part of this film’s success!
