CINEMALAYA 2016 Ang Bagong Pamilya ni Ponching

The film itself is definitely a breather and this is actually my very first Cinemalaya experience that I am a part of. T’was overwhelming to be there actually. Also I got partly shy hearing my voice in the cinema but people were cool with it and found it great so that’s a good start, I guess.

Team Ponching felt super warm, the audiences were happy from start ‘til the end, even though some really found the film a little too simple. Well, to me that was the main point of it all. Not being able to feel the weight of the world for an hour and I guess that’s ok.

Anyway this is another check for my impossible goals list, I’ve always wanted to write a song for a film although this one has a little pinch of it because it wasn’t mine. I got the opportunity to sing one of the Cunejo’s original song which is entitled “Lumang Palabas” that we might create a studio version soon enough. (It’s the song for the reminiscing moments of Lola with her old lover scene)

I really hope you get to catch the film before the local indie film fest ends and let me know watchu think.

Thank ya!!!
