Member DiP Posted October 23, 2011 Member Share Posted October 23, 2011 A Filipino crime film about contract killing in a world of gangsters, murderers and corrupted politicians. An interview with director Erik Matti here: http://lagarista.com/site/entry/the_lives_of_aswangs. An 8 min promo is featured in the provided link below. CIsuoeBTORc All I can say is: WOW! The direction, music, cinematography, editing, acting, pacing and overall production values truly say alot. It's currently on hold due to search of certain actors so there's no word when official shooting will start but it should be out next year. http://twitchfilm.com/news/2011/10/erik-matti-gearing-up-hitman-thriller-ojt-on-the-job-training.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted October 24, 2011 Member Share Posted October 24, 2011 Wow, a filipino movie that won't suck. Being filipino myself, I'm aware that tagalog movies haven't exactly evolved into goodness like the rest of the world's films have. I could be wrong. In any case, that promo looks promising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted October 24, 2011 Author Member Share Posted October 24, 2011 As a Filipino myself, I got the same sentiments as you. Looks like Filipino film-making is finally moving up to bigger and better which is great.

Member DiP Posted August 9, 2013 Author Member Share Posted August 9, 2013 A UK/Filipino co-production directed by Sean Ellis. The story centers around a family who escapes the hard life on the rice fields of Northern Philippines to settle into the capital city, where they quickly fall victim to hardened locals and the overall corrupt system of the country.
