In the past few months, I lost my interest in watching local mainstream films, so I honestly thank the mainstream movie industry for showing an indie film from Cinemalaya in theaters (nationwide!) Yay! I am an AB Communication student and with the films that were shown to us by our professors with the gist that indie films are more “soulful” than the mainstream ones made us excited when we are given the chance to watch one. And this is it! “Ang babae sa septic tank” was shown and we watched!
I like that the movie has that not so complicated story with so much twist and turns, which is new for me. The story just goes around the making and pre-production of an indie film with these two young film makers and their production assistant brainstorming on the script of the film and the actress to hire. Fortunately, Ms. Eugene Domingo was the one very apt for the role.
This film has a casual-impact on me. I can’t decipher what that really means, but in my own dictionary, that means the film was done casually to have a more biting impact to its viewers. The actors portrayed the typical indie actor, knowing the fact that they are actually celebrities. And for me, as a celebrity, having the opportunity to cast in an indie film helps them express what their talent can reach, the “as is, where is” peak. As what Ms. Eugene said, VERY HARD.
What I am about to add here, you could see it in the film. So better watch it, it will have a more biting explanation of what I want to express. Haha.
