Save Me, Sally!

My friend Avid Liongoren is finally shooting his first feature length film, Saving Sally, next week. I'm inggit because a) I wrote the screenplay for him and I won't get to be there to appear in a cameo, I mean uhm, help out, and b) yet another person I know is shooting their feature and I'm not. Dammit. I gotta get my shit together. Still have that ninja-versus-cheerleaders epic stashed in my head somewhere.


Some pre prod stills off of Avid's site. Looks awesome don't you think? That's Anna Larrucea of Batang X fame and Enzo Marcos, who used to be from the kids show 5&Up. My buddy Pancho Esguerra who used to be from Gameplan is also helping out so Probe gets ta reprezent in this movie. That was a lame attempt at gangsta talk. I apologize.

Why do most Pinoy action directors have nicknames? My favourite one is Jose "Kaka" Balagtas, followed by the mysterious yet blatantly obvious "Ronrick." I therefore must have a cool nickname when I direct my full length. Sadly, I have the most common first name in Philippine history. I blame my parents for not having the foresight to give me a cool directors name the way Quark's and Avid's have. I am open to suggestions.
