This coming Dec 2 na!

This year's Mindanao Film Festival sounds challenging for us owing to the fact that we are not yet done as in 100%. Anyway, I am still inviting you to watch the Guerrilla Filmmaking 5 (Mindanao Film Festival) this coming Dec. 2 at the Gaisano Mall of Davao theatre. Our film is one of the short films that will compete for coveting awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best screenplay etc.)

This is the synopsis of our film "Cha Cha"(Character Change)

To be a nun is what Lala dreamed of. To serve God. To live in the convent.To embrace total peace and devotion. To respond the call within her.
But because she is anchored to her squatter community where she lives and loved by her people, she could not leave her place for she knew they need her help. As children’s friend. As prayer leader. As healer. As a good spiritual and emotional adviser. As her community’s best friend. Even if she is not yet in her vocation, her people called her already as “Sister Lala”.
Brian, 28, a lucky married man who survived from a tragedy and adopted by Sister Lala. Treated as younger brother.Provided with basic needs. But despite of this unconditional love of Sister Lala, Brian didn’t see it.His depression from his tragic past that sent him away from his wife and children who were believed dead plus the forbidden drugs, these pushed him to rape Sister Lala several times and beat her whenever she resisted. So emotional-driven sin!
In the middle of such hellish event on her life,what will an aspiring nun do with a rosary in her right hand (Will she keep her vow?) and a knife for defense at her left hand (Or, will she kill the hindrance?)Nuns don’t kill!But…(what if needed?)
Here comes Caloi,Carlos and Charlie. Her new found friends in an unexpected setting. Her new found answer key to all the questions in the story.
A twist-for-realization story of faith,of patience,of hope,of discipline,of love, of sacrifice,of life and of death with a glimpse to political issues leading to “Character Change"
