Up for “Ambisyon”
Posted by: Rhon / Category: Art, Film Production, Films, Micromedia Production, political, social issue
We are up to make two films early this year, and both for National and eventually International screening and as always, I am very much excited every time I get to shoot another film. Its like a pill that makes me want to take again… (lol)
Anyway, it’s a go for films this year, best welcome home gift from friends and fellow filmmakers 
First off: I will be shooting with my Micromedia Team this end of the month for ANC’s AMBISYON 2010.
It is a nation that lives by its stories: housewives living through the eight pm soap opera, teenagers who toss meager allowances on movie tickets, the audience that shakes its head over the daily news. AmBisyon is about the dreams of a nation, the vision of a future in the context of a country locked in poverty. It is about hope, possibility, truth—through the lenses of those who tell its stories.
