I've just found out about the movie recently. I viewed the promotional materials and thought that this upcoming film looks really good and promising. Then I decided to read more about it. I found out about the long and sprawling process the makers, cast, and crew underwent to get this project done.

And after being selected as an official entry to the most anticipated movie festival of the year in the country seems to me that their hard work and perseverance finally got rewarded. I couldn't be more proud and happier for all those involved, a job well done! I hope the story of your success will inspire more aspiring Filipino filmmakers. I would definitely go and see the movie when it gets released around Christmas time.
