Yesterday, 24 December, my constant search for good stories brought me to a large mall filled with so many people.

I sat by the side of a so-called Christmas Village watching children play inside...

MrBiddle,

Stan Winston is a creatures workshop. But today, with CGIs readily available, he now diversifies in special make-up called prosthetics.

Your "Trabungco" tells of balls of fire spewed...

I am not MrBiddle's publicist. I am just thrilled to the idea that MrBiddle is calling his shots one day soon.

Until everything is final and on paper, I cannot yet name MrBiddle's independent...

Friends,

Now in development is the possibility for the most passionate filmmaker of us all --- this iSTORYAN named MrBiddle --- to direct his first commercial film courtesy of an independent...

r/brey,

The problem with Peter Jackson is that he seems unable to throw away footages he got under difficult and expensive situations. He feels --- or so it seems --- he must use them although not...

OT: The only times I appreciated Steven Spielberg were when he made "Sugarland Express," "Jaws," "ET," "Encounters of the Third Kind," "Saving Private Ryan," "Schindler's List" and "The Terminal."
...

I myself am curious about James Cameron's "Titanic."

But, really, after "Titanic", where is James Cameron? After "LOTR", now we see Peter Jackson with his "King Kong," like wielding a blank cheque...

I had the same question before on Gollum in LOTR.

Then, I remember, at one point in time, the digital people at The Orphanage claimed that the competition over "textures" was all done, with its...

It seems --- with all the philosophizing of George Lucas and the hysteria of Steven Spielberg --- their stars dim in the humour, poignancy, poetry and drama, and romanticism of Peter Jackson's "King...

Yes, Serkis. What is first name, again? Wasn't he the same actor who acted the green and close-up Gollum in LOTR?

When Ann Darrow stared aimlessly, we knew she was up against green or blue. In...

I am very sorry for lapses in memory. Neil Fraser's "The Vanishing Earth" and "Earth Voices" were not about the Panamin-staged Tasaday. They were about the T'Bolis at a time the giant World Bank was...

For a Tasaday story mentioned elsewhere, try to watch Neil Fraser's "The Vanishing Earth" of the Columban-affiliated Interim Media Production Center in Ozamis City. This was followed by "Earth...

And while we are at this, I can only ask "but where does Nilo Rodis-Jamero figure in all these?

Nilo is a Cebuano and graduate of Don Bosco Technical High School (1974 or 1975) in Punta Princesa,...

A dear iSTORYAN called me up to inquire which cut was that I was referring to in an earlier post. It was that cut of a dance routine to the song "Bye, bye Blackbird."

I have seen many King Kongs...

There is a 7-second cut in Peter Jackson's "King Kong" --- that is the one of Ann Darrow dancing once more in the old vaudaville after that scene of King Kong at Alhambra --- that will forever remain...

Actually, Mr. V is Victor Villanueva a.k.a. Vanceloma.

I stand corrected if I got the wrong mr. v . . .

Actually, I also know of a mr. v... who happens to be very close to me. This...

Frankly, I am having hard time understanding of what you are saying here. But if what you say is...

Thank you.

Friday last week we were shown clippings of two or three clips from celebrated Russian films in a lecture on European Cinema by Prof. Ed Piano at the glossy USC/CAFA Digital Theater.

I am...

Thanks, ralf23. I have been wiggling and waggling for the family name of this great Australian cinematographer who is now working in HongKong --- Christopher Somebody? Christopher Something?

I am...

In my opinion, Sunseed Films is in a better position to rev up the production of Cebuano/Visayan films:

1. It is duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission with an authorized...

"Kroko" and "The Spanish Apartment" of the European Films Festival now going on typify the difficult storytelling techniques of European filmmakers: "How to tell a story without telling a story".

storaroing,

I do not have a site on the net. And my festival days are over. I now make films for more food on the table for a fairly large family.

I have 54 films now in all these years --- 49...

The following Filipino DoPs top over even the most jaded among the ASCs:

1. Romeo Vitug

2. Loreto Isleta (I've work with this DoP on a Siquijor documentary)

3. Conrado Baltazar (This is the...

You don't need IAFT!

All you need is a camcorder with a DV terminal and a PC with a Gigabyte chomping drive, those are the 2 basic things you need to get a film done. Coupled with knowledge you...

MrBiddle,

If you can be at Bo's/Ayala this morning at 10:00 A.M., I am inviting you to sit down with me and the producers of Sunseed Films for a pre-production conference.

I plan to bring you...

Last October 6, over lunch at Grand Majestic courtesy of Anvil Publication (with pnoize2k4, Archie Modequillo, Bien Fernandez, Gwenn of Anvil and documentary filmmaker Stella Enriquez Kelly) we had a...

The man named Michael is most likely the co-founder and CEO of Bigfoot-- Michael Gleissner, the German billionaire who has every right to make anything an ego trip because he can very well afford...

With pnoize2k4 yesterday over lunch with Anvil Publications and the author of a book on documentary filmmaking in the Philippines, I saw this lead technical staff of International Academy of Film and...
