Today (and not May 26 as the poster above states), an indie movie with a respectable cast of Film and TV performers will open on limited run in Metro Manila theatres.
Noy, the Movie – directed by Dondon S. Santos from the screenplay of Shugo Praico – stars one of the Philippines’ current showbiz heartthrobs Coco Martin together with Cherry Pie Picache, Joem Bascon, Erich Gonzales, Baron Geisler and Vice Ganda. It tells the story of a family breadwinner who posed as a journalist tasked to cover the campaign trail of his namesake – Senator Noynoy Aquino – in the 2010 Philippine Presidential Elections. It contains actual documentary footages combined with a family drama that revolves around poverty, survival and hope for the Filipino family.
Here is the movie’s official trailer:

Don’t look now, but another Filipino indie movie has done the country proud by being named Best Showcase Feature at the 2nd Soho International Film Festival 2010 in New York City. “Walang Hanggang Paalam” (literal English translation: “Never-Ending Goodbye”) came out on top and bested 11 other competing movies from different participating countries. The festival “encourages new and seasoned filmmakers to create innovative and thought-provoking pieces and will host screenings and events in the renowned SOHO district of New York City to bring together filmmakers, critics, and cineastes from across the world.”

While they are in a hotel in Baguio, they meet a terminally ill tourist (Jacky Woo) who is in Baguio beause it is where he met his ex-wife who is a Filipina.

I must admit that I didn’t give this movie much thought of watching at first, but I’m now doubly intrigued in catching the same or buying a personal dvd copy.
Congratulations!!! 😉
Milo Sogueco’s Sanglaan (The Pawnshop) won two awards at the recently-concluded 15th Lyon Asian Film Festival in Lyon, France. The indie movie, which was launched during the Cinemalaya Cinco held at the CCP earlier this year, was awarded the Silver Prize in the New Asian Cinema category and copped the Bronze trophy in the Grand Priz du Public Audience section.
Director Milo Sogueco and Producer Gay Ace Domingo attended the awarding ceremony and proudly received the two honors.
“Sanglaan” (The Pawnshop) stars Ina Feleo, Tessie Tomas, Joem Bascon, Neil Ryan Sese, Jess Evardone and Flor Salanga.
Another Pinoy indie movie is set to invade foreign film festivals abroad. “Sanglaan” (The Pawnshop), a film directed by Milo Sogueco and which won for Ina Feleo and Tessie Tomas the Cinemalaya Cinco Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards, respectively, has been invited to compete in the 15th Lyon Asian Film Festival in Lyon, France next month.
The movie revolves around the lives of five people associated with a closing pawnshop – the female owner who is afraid of aging, a female employee who wants to express her love for a long-time crush, and the security guard concerned with his sick wife. There are also additionally intertwined characters of a seaman and a loan shark that bring conflict to the shoe-box existence of the pawnshop fixtures.
