Thanks for everything.
It is an honor to work with you. Para sa Kultura ng ating bansa – Carlo
Salamax sa lahat.
Indie filmmakers need to be given a big break and they have been gaining patronage from those intelligent and educated person who value movies much. Their works are comparable with those well-financed film industries.
Over the past few years, films like these have extraordinarily gained and encouraged recognition, interest, influence, and impact in the country.
This is the kind of film that entices the brain and makes you think. I didn’t know that a famous actress like Aubrey Miles would be present.
Aubrey took a long break from acting, so it was really a great experience, acting for Direk Brillante on her comeback. Sharing you Everlasting starring Aubrey Miles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7pj3DBXfug
This is a really good treat for the viewers being able to watch Brillante Mendoza caliber of movies made for television. They have an excellent line up of tv-movie already.
I’m not very knowledgeable about Filipino films but it’s really cool that quality films are becoming more accessible to the masses whose only source is usually the TV. 🙂
Great that TV5 got him on board to showcase all his work. I’m looking forward to watching Anak!
I don’t know about these stars but seems like quite famous personalities and must be a good watch.
Nice of you to promote for the independent film makers! Can I share with you some of my works too? I did one action short film recently! Hope you can support it!
