Some sights of Cebu's Independent Filmmaking Scene at the Indie Film Sunday@The Outpost













Looking forward to next month's Indie Film Sunday!

Last early June, on behalf of SineBuano I took part in a screen-writing seminar facilitated by acclaimed writer for Filipino film and television, ARMANDO "BING" LAO and ufo Workshops. The seminar was held last June 4 to 6 at Turtles Nest Book Cafe, hosted by Bambi Beltran.

Here are some flashbacks...





Sir Bing Lao, seated at the center of the photo above, has a solid, award-winning career writing for TV and Film in the country. He also achieved international acclaim writing notable screenplays such as ”Pila Balde”, “Tuhog” and “Kubrador” for Jeffrey Jeturian; “La Vida Rosa” for Chito Roño; as well as the recently renowned films “Serbis” and “Kinatay” for Brillante Mendoza, both of which were screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

Sir Bing also provided positive creative influence as consultant on Filipino independent films, such as “Tribu” (Jim Libiran, 2007), “Bakal Boys” (Royston Jover, 2008 ) and “Jay” (Francis Xavier Pasion, 2008 ). Each film earned acclaim and won awards.
