Piso

"Nowadays, what is the essence of "piso" in our lives? Will it change our lives or will it ruined our true self?"
I was invited by "cinegang" a group of young people who has the passion in film making, future film makers of our country, and they are the products of MOWELFUND Intensive Filmmaking 2008. They grouped together, contributing each one's resources, skills, talent just to produce a world class movie. And this is their first project as a group. It is entitled as "PISO" written and co-directed by Rommel M. Luna. Each one of them plays a different role in the movie making, vital role that strengthen the group to produce something that can give lessons to us.

The movie talks about a family, a simple family who dreams to have a better lives, but sad to say they were abused by people in power, influential people who ruined their lives, ruined their dreams, and corrupt their weakness. It's a beautiful short story that presently happening in our society but none of us cares about it. It is a common problem in our society but until now we are not awaken by the cries of these people, begging for help, begging for mercy, and begging to have their dignity in life.

It is not the budget that we talk about in making a movie, it's not the actors and actresses, but it's all about the art of telling a story in a moving images. Capturing every details that will lead to the understanding of the audience and the morale lessons we can gain from the movie. The group admitted that it's very difficult to cope up those problem they have encountered in making this movie, but at the end of the shooting, an excellent movie was created by these young group of people who are aspiring to compete not only to local movie producers but in international arena.

Though the scenes are very heavy and dramatic but in the set there are bundles of laughters and joys, during the shooting of this movie. As if no one is above from the other, they are open to share their opinions and ideas, and gladly it is accepted by the group. And that's what they called TEAMWORK.

And now, we will be waiting for this movie to be shown in the silver screen with pride and honor for "CINEGANG". Good luck to your movie and hopefully you can produce more movie that will help the dying movie industry of the country.
