Akihiro Sato (The most popular Japanese-Bazilian model in South-East Asia today is going to have this as his debut movie here in the Philippines) waiting for the set-up to finish
HANDUMANAN
Directed by:Seymour Sanchez
Production: Independent (Sponsored by Cinemalaya Foundation and National Commission for Culture and the Arts)
Release Date: First quarter of 2009
Setting: Dumaguete City
Main Cast: Chin-Chin Gutierrez, Jason Abalos, Akihiro Sato
Behind-the-scenes in Cafe Antonio
This film, having Dumaguete as it's main setting, although, not the first time, will surely be something special and something to look forward to. For one thing, it is sponsored by the Cinemalaya Foundation and the NCCA (Both will not just sponsor any Independent movie unless it's going to be a really good one) which will have high possibilities that this film will get to join in international film festivals. It will be a big exposure for Dumaguete, for sure, and hopefully, soon, Dumaguete will not be only known for it's academic industry, but also get head-to-head with other places in the film industry. Dumaguete was specially chosen by the director with influence from Chin-Chin Gutierrez who just love Dumaguete so much and has just recently found her second home here.

Correction: It is not produced by the Cinemalaya Foundation. It is currently being made through a grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. NCCA is different from Cinemalaya. Thanks!
