Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank and Bisperas big winners at the 7th Cinemalaya Awards Night

The 7th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival culminated its very successful run by handing out trophies at the awards night held earlier tonight, July 24, at the Main Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).

Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank, which pokes fun at indie filmmaking, was the night's biggest winner; picking up five Balanghay trophies—Best Film, Best Director (Marlon Rivera), Best Screenplay (Chris Martinez), Audience Choice Award, and Best Actress (Eugene Domingo).

Eugene is a favorite to win the Best Actress trophy.

"Kung hindi pa ako nakakain ng tae, hindi pa ako mananalo!" exclaimed the comedienne at the beginning of her acceptance speech, which she also delivered in English for international guests. In the film, Eugene was literally submerged into a septic tank.

Aside from thanking her co-stars in the movie, Eugene also acknowledged the members of Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) who were also part of the cast.

She also addressed the controversy at the beginning of the Cinemalaya where short-film director Rafa Santos was criticized for his remarks against theater actors (who would reportedly work for "Sky Flakes" and "catfood").

"Rafa... we forgive you. We are all united here," said Eugene to the young filmmaker who also attended the event.

Young actor Edgar Allan Guzman, on the other hand, was named Best Actor for his role in the sex-comedy Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me.

Edgar Allan, who was under the weather, thanked his "love team" in the film, Mercedes Cabral, his girlfriend Johlan Veluz, his mother, and his manager Noel Ferrer.

Meanwhile, Niño, directed by Loy Arcenas, picked up four trophies in the New Breed category, including Special Jury Prize, Best Supporting Actress (Shamaine Buencamino), Best Supporting Actor (Art Acuna), and Best Production Design.

In the Directors' Showcase category, Jeffrey Jeturain's Bisperas picked up five awards, including Best Film, Best Actress for Raquel Villavicencio and Best Supporting Actress for Julia Clarete.

Aureaus Solito won Best Director for Busong, which was first exhibited at the Cannes International Film Festival earlier this year.

Bembol Roco was adjudged Best Actor for Isda while Jaime Pebangco was named Best Supporting Actor for Patikul.

The jury decided not to give trophies for Best Feature and Best Screenplay this year in the Directors' Showcase category.

In the Short Feature Film category, Walang Katapusang Kuwarto won Best Film and Best Screenplay for Emerson Reyes, who also directed the film.

Rommel Tolentino was named Best Director for Niño Bonito, while Hanap Buhay got the Special Jury Prize.

“Boundary,” directed by Benito Bautista, shared the Special Mention honor with Indonesian film “The Mirror Never Lies” by Kamila Andini under the SEA (Southeast Asia) Films in Competition section. The Best SEA Film award went to “Golden Slumbers” by Davy Chou of Cambodia.

On the other hand, the six-hour long Lav Diaz-helmed film “Siglo ng Pagluluwal” won the Grand Jury Prize under the Main Competition section. The Lino Brocka Grand Prize was given to “Gangor” by Italo Spinelli of Italy. Individuals were also recognized, namely, Best Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan for “Once Upon a Time in Anatolia” from Turkey; Best Actor George Pistereanu for “If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle” from Romania; and Best Actress Jeong-hie Yun for “Poetry” of South Korea.

The Cinemanila also had competition sections dedicated solely to Filipino films, Young Cinema Shorts and Digital Lokal. Carlo Obispo’s “123” won both the Best Short Film award and the Ishmael Bernal Award for Young Cinema. Meanwhile, Victor Villanueva’s “Saranghae My Tutor” received the Special Jury Prize.

The Digital Lokal Best Film and Best Director awards were given to Mes de Guzman’s “Sa Kanto ng Ulap at Lupa, while “Sakay sa Hangin” by Regiben Romana won the Lino Brocka Grand Jury Prize.

Cinemanila no longer a ‘gypsy’

From this year, the Cinemanila will be held in its permanent home, Taguig City. Prior to the awards ceremony held on Nov. 17 at the Bonifacio High Street, festival director Tikoy Aguiluz and Taguig City Mayor Lina Cayetano shared to Bulletin Entertainment and select members of the media their plans for the future installments of the festival.

To sustain the festival off season and to create awareness for film appreciation as well as boost audience turn-out, Cinemanila intends to hold monthly projects such as workshops and discussion-seminars, and to bring the indie films to the masses through the Sine Barangay.

Aguiluz related that there are also “concrete plans” to build a cinematheque and new cinemas inside the Global City, particularly in Serendra and the Bonifacio High Street. This is in line with their vision of turning Taguig City into a “haven for filmmakers.”

More, Cayetano and the city government of Taguig plan to give incentives to filmmakers who would shoot their entire films in the city. To start, Aguiluz announced the joint community film project by the Cinemanila and Taguig City which will be screened at next year’s festival.

Veteran horror movie extra Lilia Cuntapay wins big in Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival 2011 awards
Mark Angelo Ching
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 @ 10:42PM

Kagabi, November 13, ay ginanap ang awards night ng Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival 2011 sa RCBC Plaza, Makati City.

Ang pelikulang Ka Oryang ang nag-uwi ng awards for Best Picture, at Best Director para sa direktor nitong si Sari Lluch Dalena.

Ang Ka Oryang ay tungkol sa paghihirap ng mga babaeng na-torture noong Martial Law.

Ngunit ang big winner sa gabing iyon ay si Lilia Cuntapay, ang beteranang extra sa mga pelikulang horror.

Ang pelikula niyang Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay ay nanalo ng pinakamaraming awards: anim, kasama na ang Audience Choice Award, Best Screenplay, at Best Actress award para kay Lilia Cuntapay.

Ang Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival ay ang taunang festival para sa mga independent films, na sponsored ng Cinema One, isa sa cable channels na pagmamay-ari ng ABS-CBN.

Noong 2005 nagsimula ang film festival na ito, at mula noon ay nakapag-produce na ito ng ilan sa mga itinuturing na pinakamagagandang indie films.

Kasama sa mga ito ang Sa North Diversion Road (2005), Huling Balyan ng Buhi (2006), Confessional (2007), Imburnal (2008), Yanggaw (2008), Wanted: Border (2009), Ang Damgo ni Eleuteria (2010), Dagim (2010), at Ishmael (2010).

Ngayong taon, sampung pelikula ang kasali sa Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival.

Ito ay ang mga sumusunod:

Anatomiya ng Korupsiyon,

Big Boy,

Cartas de Soledad,

Di Ingon Nato,

Ka Oryang,

Mga Anino sa Tanghaling Tapat,

My Paranormal Romance,

Sa Kanto ng Ulap at Lupa,

Sa Ilalim ng Tulay,

at Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay.

Ang lahat ng pelikula ay binuo ng mga baguhang direktor, na binigyan ng Cinema One ng grants na tig-iisang milyong piso para mabuo ang kanilang mga obra.

Sinimulan ang screening ng sampung pelikula noon pang November 9 sa Cinema 4 ng Shangri-La Plaza Mall, at kagabi nga ginanap ang awards night.

Ang mga parangal ay pinagdesisyunan ng isang jury na binubuo ng ilan sa mga mabibigat na pangalan sa larangan ng cinema, dito sa Pilipinas at sa abroad.

STAR-STUDDED. Sa awards night ay dumalo ang ilan sa mga cast ng pelikula, tulad nina Lilia Cuntapay, Emilio Garcia, Mon Confiado, at Emilio Garcia.

Ang ilan naman sa stars ay nagsilbi bilang award presenters, tulad nina Dominic Ochoa, Angel Aquino, Maja Salvador, Yul Servo, Jon Avila, Jewel Mische, Kean Cipriano, at Bangs Garcia.

Hosts sina John "Sweet" Lapus, Venus Raj, at Alex Gonzaga.

Nag-perform naman si Nina at ang Pilipinas Got Talent finalists na sina Muriel Lomadilla at Khalil Ramos.

Dumalo rin ang batikang direktor na si Mario O'Hara, at ang Superstar na si Nora Aunor upang tanggapin ang kanilang award for their outstanding contributions to Filipino independent film.

LILIA WINS. Mataas ang excitement sa loob ng Carlos Romulo auditorium sa RCBC Plaza bago pa man magsimula ang awards program.

Napuno kasi ang venue ng mga baguhang filmmaker na hindi maitago ang kaba at kasiyahan, at bulto-bultong mga tagahanga ni Nora Aunor, na dumayo pa para suportahan ang kanilang idolo.

Bukod pa rito ay excited din ang lahat kung makukuha nga ni Lilia Cuntapay ang Best Actress award para sa kanyang pelikulang Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay.

Directed by Antoinette Jadaone, ang narrative film na ito ay tila isang documentary tungkol sa pagkaka-nominate ni Lilia sa isang acting award for the first time in her long showbiz career.

Matatandaang staple na si Lilia sa mga horror film sa Pilipinas, at na-typecast na siya sa mga role na white lady, multo, o mambabarang.

Gayunpaman, itinuturing pa ring bit player o extra si Lilia, kahit na halos 20 years na siyang nakikita sa pelikula at telebisyong Pilipino.

Kaya naman hindi mapigil ang palakpakan at hiyawan ng mga manonood nang tawagin ang pangalan ni Lilia bilang winner ng Best Actress award.

Standing ovation pa ang ibinigay ng ilan para kay Lilia.

Ka-tie ni Lilia sa award si Maricar Reyes para sa pelikulang Anatomiya ng Korupsiyon.

Hindi nakadalo si Maricar dahil sa taping, kaya naman tila inangkin na talaga ni Lilia ang pagbibigay ng speech sa entablado.

Sa panayam ng PEP matapos ang awards program ay inamin ni Lilia na hindi niya inaakalang siya nga ang mananalo ng award.

Ngunit natutuwa raw siya dahil marami na rin naman ang kanyang pinaghirapan sa showbiz.

Aniya, "Siyempre nagulat ako kasi alam ko naman na hindi ako deserve doon. Pero, masaya ako nung tinawag yung pangalan ko.

"Hindi ko nga maeksplika, e, dahil hindi ko naman ine-expect ito.

"Ito na, nagbunga na rin yung paghihirap ko."

KA ORYANG. Samantala, hindi rin daw in-expect ni Sari Dalena na mananalo siya ng Best Director award para sa pelikula niyang Ka Oryang, na pinarangalan ding Best Picture.

Pahayag niya sa PEP, "Hindi ko ine-expect dahil, napakagaling nung mga kasama ko.

"Sobrang brilliant sila, excellent, at saka ang gaganda ng mga stories nila, tungkol sa regions nila.

"Hindi ko na inasahan dahil napakahusay nila."

Ayon kay Sari, na kilala na sa paggawa ng mga short films, nabuo ang kanyang konsepto sa pakikipag-usap niya sa ilang political detainees.

"Bale, it's a process. Naka-interview ako ng mga political detainees na kung anu-anong karahasan ang pinagdaanan nila sa martial law," saad niya.

Pagpapatuloy niya, naka-relate din siya kanyang mga subject dahil nagkaanak siya noong isang taon.

"Saka mga buntis sila nung time na hinarass sila.

"E, nagkataon, last year, nabuntis ako at nanganak ako, so parang nakaka-relate ako sa pinagdaanan nila."

Malaki rin ang pasasalamat niya sa kanyang mga artista, kasama sina Alessandra de Rossi, Joem Bascon, Emilio Garcia, Angeli Bayani, Marife Necessito, at Kalila Aguilos.

"One-hundred percent sila. Wala silang bawal, o ano, binigay nila lahat."

2011 Metro Manila Film Festival Big Winners

The film festival’s only action movie won a total of 11 awards, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay (for Roi Iglesias and Rey Ventura), Best Supporting Actor (for John Regala), and the Gatpuno Villegas Cultural Award.

It also won almost all of the technical awards.

Interestingly, a “Gary dela Cruz” was credited when “Manila Kingpin” won the award for Best Director. Its original director, Tikoy Aguiluz, secured a court order to have his name removed from the credits of “Manila Kingpin” due to re-shooting and editing of the film without his permission.

“Enteng Ng Ina Mo” won second best picture while “Shake, Rattle, and Roll 13” won third best picture.

Dingdong Dantes won the Best Actor award for his role in “Segunda Mano” while Maricel Soriano of “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow” won Best Actress. Maricel’s film was disqualified from contention in the other creative awards, including Best Picture, because the exhibited version was a departure from the script the producers submitted to the MMFF Committee.

The Kapuso actor bested Vic Sotto (“Enteng Ng Ina Mo”), E.R. Ejercito (“Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story”), Ryan Agoncillo (“My Househusband: Ikaw Na!”), and Jericho Rosales (“Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”) for the award.

Meanwhile, Ai-Ai delas Alas (“Enteng Ng Ina Mo”), Judy Ann Santos (“My Househusband: Ikaw Na!”), Eugene Domingo (“Shake, Rattle, and Roll 13”), and Maricar Reyes (“Shake, Rattle, and Roll 13”) were the nominees for the Best Actress award.

Domingo won Best Supporting Actress for “My Househusband: Ikaw Na!”

Meanwhile, “H.I.V.” and “Pintakasi” evenly split the awards for the full-length independent film categories of the New Wave Section of the 2011 MMFF.

“Pintakasi” was named the festival’s best full-length independent film and won the Best Actor award (for JM de Guzman).

Hit films, critics' faves lead nominees at 28th PMPC Star Awards for Movies
By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ
February 28, 2012, 11:09am

MANILA, Philippines – Movies that shook the box office tills, as well as those that reaped recognitions here or abroad, are at the forefront of nominees at the 28th Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) Star Awards for Movies.

Leading the pack are the controversial “Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story,” which swept the most number of trophies in last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival,;another MMFF entry, “Ang Panday 2;” and the romance-drama “In The Name of Love.” They are all nominated in 11 categories, including Movie of the Year, Director, Original Screenplay, Editor, and Cinematographer.

Meanwhile, the second highest-grossing Filipino film of all time, “No Other Woman,” is up for eight awards, including Movie of the Year, Director, and Actor and Actress for Derek Ramsay and Anne Curtis, respectively.

Apparently for a close fight in the digital circle are “Thelma,” with 11 nominations, and “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank,” and “Ang Sayaw Ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa,” with 10 each. The three films vie for major trophies such as Digital Movie of the Year, Digital Movie Director, and Digital Movie Original Screenplay. Maja Salvador (“Thelma”) and Eugene Domingo (“Septic Tank”) are both nominated in the Actress category, while the former’s co-stars Tetchie Agbayani and Eliza Pineda compete for a Supporting Actress trophy. “Sayaw”’s Rocco Nacino earned a nod for New Movie Actor.

“Septic Tank” was not only a hit among local audiences and critics, it has also caught the eye of international film festivals, and most notably, the 84th Academy Awards (Oscars), where it was shortlisted for the nominees in its Best Foreign Language Film category. Meanwhile, “Sayaw” was well-received at the Hawaii International Film Festival and the Bogota International Film Festival in Colombia, where it clinched the Pre-Columbian Bronze Circle Award last year. “Thelma,” meanwhile, was screened at the Hawaii International Film Festival and will take part at the 22nd Cinequest Film Festival in California.

Vice Ganda named Phenomenal Box-Office Star; Derek Ramsay is Box-Office King while Anne Curtis and Cristine Reyes share Box-Office Queen title
Nora V. Calderon
Wednesday, April 18, 2012 @ 11:09AM

Inilabas na ng pamunuan ng Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, through its president Mrs. Corazon Samaniego, ang results ng kanilang 43rd Box-Office Entertainment Awards.

Ito ay pagkatapos ng kanilang official deliberation na ginanap sa Dane Publishing House, Mindanao Avenue, noong Sabado, April 14.

Sa pagkakataong ito, nagdagdag sila ng dalawang bagong kategorya.

Una, ang Phenomenal Box-Office Star para kay Vice Ganda.

Ito ay dahil ang pelikula ni Vice na Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin ang nakapagtala ng pinakamataas na box-office returns noong 2011—na umabot sa P331.61 million.

Pangalawa, ang Box-Office Tandem kina Vic Sotto at Ai-Ai delas Alas.

Ito ay dahil ang pelikula nilang Enteng Ng Ina Mo ay nagbigay rin ng pinakamataas na gross sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

Nakakuha ito ng gross na P237.88 mula December 25, 2011 hanggang sa pagtatapos ng festival noong January 7, 2012.

Mananatili ang dalawang bagong kategoryang ito kung sa mga susunod na taon ay magkakaroon pa rin ng ganitong kaganapan sa mga pelikulang ipalalabas.

Kaya ang title na Box-Office King ay ibinigay kay Derek Ramsay dahil ang dalawang pelikula niyang ginawa last year ay nakakuha ng first two highest box-office returns—ang Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin at No Other Woman.

Ang leading ladies naman ni Derek sa No Other Woman na sina Anne Curtis at Cristine Reyes ang itinanghal na Box-Office Queens.

Ang 43rd Box-Office Entertainment Awards ay produced ng Airtime Marketing ni Tessie Celestino.

Gaganapin ito sa April 29, Linggo, sa RCBC Plaza, Makati City.

Mapapanood naman ito sa May 6, sa Sunday’s Best ng ABS-CBN.

Haruo tops YCC honors for distinguished achievement in film in 2011

Haruo, Adolfo Alix Jr.’s tale about a Yakuza member seeking to lead a new life in Manila, got the nod of the Young Critics Circle as the best film of 2011. Rodolfo Vera bagged the best screenplay award for Niño, a story about a once-elite family coping with inevitable decline. Other winners include Diana Zubiri for best performance in Bahay Bata, Señorita for best editing, Teoriya for best cinematography and visual design, and Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa for best in sound and aural orchestration.

Thirty-five films were initially long-listed by the group, which was later narrowed down to a shortlist of eight. Only short-listed films earn the privilege to be nominated for any of the six categories. YCC does not confer nominations on artistic or technical merit if the film does not qualify in the short list.

The Film Desk of the Young Critics’ Circle will hold the 22nd Annual Circle Citations for distinguished achievements in film on April 19, 2012 at the University of the Philippines Jorge B. Vargas Museum in Diliman, Quezon City.

YCC drew its selection from both regular and non-regular releases comprising the entirety of Philippine cinema output in 2011. Films considered for discussion were those that had three or more screenings before a paying or non-paying audience in any public venue.

The organization departs from many conventions of other award-giving bodies both here and abroad in bestowing cinematic honors. For instance, the award for Best Film of the Year is reserved for the director such that no separate prize for direction is needed. The Best Performance award is most coveted as it is conferred on a screen performer whether male or female, adult or child, individual or as part of an ensemble, in leading or supporting role. To uphold a more dynamic and encompassing way of looking at films, technical honors refer to fusion of outstanding efforts in fields otherwise deemed apart. In this case, the Best Cinematography and Visual Design recognition covers both camerawork and art direction. Similarly, Best Sound and Aural Orchestration encompasses not sound engineering alone but musical score as well.

Established in 1990, YCC is composed of members of academe who, through the years, have become attentive observers of Philippine cinema. Coming from various disciplines, they bring an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of film. Current members are from the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University.

Members of the Film Desk include Eloisa May P. Hernandez (President), Tessa Maria Guazon (Vice President), Romulo P. Baquiran Jr., Flaudette May V. Datuin, Noel D. Ferrer, Patrick D. Flores, Eulalio Guieb III, J. Pilapil Jacobo, Nonoy L. Lauzon, Eileen C. Legaspi-Ramirez, Gerard R. A. Lico, Jema Pamintuan, Choy Pangilinan, Jerry C. Respeto, Jaime Oscar M. Salazar, Neil Martial R. Santillan, and Galileo S. Zafra. New members include JPaul Manzanilla and Skilty Labastilla.

NOW MASSING AT THE STARTING LINE
by Jose N. Carreon | Posted in Articles | on Fri, Jan 13, 2012

With the Golden Globe awards unfolding on Sunday, January 15, and the Oscar Awards on February 26, the local versions of award-giving on film achievements here literally are massing now at the starting line.

Members of the URIAN, the FAMAS (with two factions co-existing), the CMMA, the FAP, the PMPC, the Young Critics’ Circle will soon troop to review films exhibited in 2011 for their consideration.

In 2011, a total of 78 local feature-length films were shown in cinema-houses—34 mainstream films and 44 digital or indie films. Of this output, eight films were rated A by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Film Development Council of the Philippines and 24 were rated B.

Logically, the award-giving bodies will focus their attention on the rated films and eventually review them one after another—not necessarily on the chronological basis of their exhibition in local cinemahouses nor the ranking of movie critics and the like.

To make matters simple, therefore, let us list the Rated A films first then scan the much larger grouping of Rated B films. In order not to insinuate bias into the proceedings, the Rated A films are presented alphabetically.

Ang Babae sa Septic Tank
A 2011 Cinemalaya entry in the New Breed category, it is directed by Marlon Rivera from the screenplay of Chris Martinez and produced by Martinez Rivera Films, Quantum Films and Straight Shooters Media, Inc. It stars Eugene Domingo, JM de Guzman and Kean Cipriano. The film follows a day of three film school graduates (Jocelyn, Rainier and Bingbong) as they go through pre-production activities that include a courtesy call to their lead actress played by Eugene Domingo as herself and their on-the-spot inspection of the Payatas dumpsite, their film’s major backdrop. (Shown August 3, 2011)

Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
Produced by Scenema Concept International and Viva Films, it is directed by Tikoy Aguiluz who demanded that his credit be deleted as director before the filmfest. It stars Laguna Gov. Jeorge “E.R.’ Estregan in the title role, as well as Carla Abellana, Philip Salvador, John Regala, Baron Geisler, Yul Servo, Amay Bisaya, Ronnie Lazaro, Dennis Padilla, Ketchup Eusebio, Ping Medina, Gerald Ejercito, Roi Vinzon, Joko Diaz, Archi Adamos and Roldan Aquino. This is another remake of the Asiong Salonga legend as the kingpin of Tondo in the early 1950s. (Shown on Dec. 25, 2011)

No Other Woman
Produced by Star Cinema, it is directed by Ruel Bayani from the story and script of Keiko Aquino, Ricardo Fernando III and Kris G. Gazmen. It stars Anne Curtis, Derek Ramsay, Cristine Reyes, Tirso Cruz III, Carmi Martin and John Arcilla.

(Shown on Sept. 28, 2011)

Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa
Produced by Ignatius Films for the 2011 Cinemalaya, it is directed by Alvin B. Yapan. It stars Paulino Avelino, Rocco Nacino and Jean Garcia.

The cast includes members of the FEU Dance Company and the Company of Dance Artists (CODA). (Shown on October 26, 2011)

Segunda Mano
Produced by Star Cinema, Agosto Dos Pictures and MJM Productions, it is directed by Joyce Bernal for the last Metro Manila Film Festival where it was the second top grossing film. It stars Kris Aquino, Dingdong Dantes, Angelica Panganiban, Bangs Garcia, Jhong Hilario and Helen Gamboa. An intricate horror-suspense drama that draws a thin line between the living and the ghostly that finally delivers a jolting discovery at the climax. (Shown on Dec. 25, 2011)

Senior Year
Produced by Digitank Studio and Metric Films, it is directed by Jerrold Tarog. Featuring real high school students who have no film acting experience, the story focuses on the experiences that come in the final year of high school life for students of a private Catholic high school in Manila. (Shown on March 9, 2011)

Thelma
Produced by Star Cinema, it is directed by Paul Soriano from a script he has co-written with Froi Medina. It stars Maja Salvador in the lead role with Jason Abalos, Tetchie Agbayani, John Arcilla and Elma Muros as herself. The story revolves around a tomboyish lass from Ilocos Norte who discovers that her uncanny physical ability to run may be the only means she can lift her family to a decent life. (Shown on Sept. 7, 2011)

Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington
Produced by Origin 8 and Reality, it is directed by Jade Castro, starring Mart Escudero, Roderick Paulate, Lauren Young, Janice de Belen, John Regala with the guesting of Eugene Domingo and Marian Rivera.
