The Liars (Trailer) - Cinemalaya 2013 Movie Entry

Posted by Music Top SIte Jumat, 05 Juli 2013 0 komentar

Directed by Gil Portes, The Liars is a story of a journalist (played by Alessandra de Rossi) whose expose of the truth results in life-changing consequences to a baseball team of poor boys from Smokey Mountain.

It is told from the point of view of Dante (played by John Michael), whose family and identity were taken away from him in the town’s quest for the Little League World Series title. On the other hand, journalist Eloisa Avelino (Alessandra) is torn between exposing the truth and covering up to protect the country’s honor.

When Eloisa publishes her investigation about the over-aged and non-resident players, the team is immediately stripped of their championship title. Their instant fame and promising future vanishes, leaving a team of innocent boys to suffer the consequences of personal shame and national disgrace that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The Liars is inspired by a real-life sports scandal that took place in 1992. A baseball team from Zamboanga was crowned the champion of the 46th Little League World Series. However, Filipino journalists revealed the team had used ineligible players who did not meet either age or residency requirements. As a result, the team was stripped of its title.

Direk Gil Portes says his movie is a fictional story loosely based on the said sportsscandal. He says about his film: “Ang utak dito ay ang coach [played by Arnold Reyes] and the manager [played by Cris Villanueva]. They want mature players…better players kaya kumuha sila ng mga players na mas matanda. Ang requirement kasi between 10-12 years old pero itong mga players na ito, mga 14 years old na ito. They want to win at all cost.”

"The Liars" will be shown in CCP and selected Ayala Cinemas from July 26 to August 4, 2013 as part of Cinemalaya Film Festival Directors Showcase category.

Posted by Music Top SIte 0 komentar

Written and directed by Jason Paul Laxamana, featuring an ensemble cast of veteran actors that include Alex Vincent Medina, Joey Paras, Alma Concepcion and Kiko Matos, Babagwa (international title: The Spider's Lair) is about the web of lies that people create in order to trick unsuspecting victims. An Internet scammer named Greg (Alex Medina) uses a fake Facebook account to trick people into depositing money into his bank account.

Assuming the persona of a fictional guy named Bam (played by Kiko Matos), Greg flirts with a filthy rich woman whom he meets online. In time, Greg falls in love with Daisy (played by Alma Concepcion). Will Greg push through with his scam or will he admit his true feelings for Daisy?

Writer-director Jason Paul Laxamana says that he got the idea for the movie when one of his friends became the victim of an online scam. He explains that “babagwa” is the Kapampangan word for spider since the characters are seemingly caught in the web of the situation. “Alex has a moral dilemma kung susunod siya sa feelings niya or kung ipapakilala niya ang tunay niyang pagkatao kay Daisy,” says Direk Jason. The cast members speak mainly in Kapampangan since the film is set in Angeles, Pampanga.

"Babagwa (The Spider's Lair)" will be shown in CCP and selected Ayala Cinemas from July 26 to August 4, 2013 as part of Cinemalaya Film Festival New Breedcategory.
