| CINEMATOGRAPHY
TAKEN TO NEW HEIGHTS
The New York Film Academy-trained WILL FREDO
together with, award-winning visual artist GENE GALLARDO,
and emerging avant-garde Filipino photographer PJ STA.
MARIA, take cinematography to new heights. Wiith
limited budget and raw independent spirit, the finished film showcases the best of the three
artists: GALLARDO’s classical and modern background in
painting and animation, STA. MARIA’s cinéma verité
approach, and FREDO’s minimalist and Butoh-like sensibilities.
Together, they have concocted a very satisfying aesthetic style
that complements the rawness of the script and the powerful
portyal of the actors. Brutal realism that is sure to leave
you breathless. |
