You're invited to the World Premiere of our narrative feature, THE MONSTERS WITHOUT to screen at the 37th annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival on Friday, October 1, 9:00pm (PDT) at Regal LA LIVE's Theater #12 in DTLA.

​I have an acting role in the film.

​Written and directed by Randal Kamradt and starring Jessica Neistadt and Jake Macapagal, the fantastical adventure is about 
a terrifying ancient Yablo called Nameless who arrives with a plan to forcibly return his kind to their home dimension, as only the members of P.H.A.S.E. resolve to stop him. Their leader is Setsuko, a Japanese-Korean woman who has clawed her way to the top of her field, only to request a P.H.A.S.E. assignment. Her fiance, Rommel Romero (Jake Macapagal), is an ex-police detective and the second in command. Two Americans, April and Richard, specialize in security and technology, respectively. Rommel's sister Wonder has a unique connection with the Yablo and serves as team biologist. The new intern Benito still has trouble believing everything he sees with P.H.A.S.E. And the newest recruit, Miranda (Jessica Neistadt), holds a stunning secret that will change everything. Though Nameless is nearly invincible, these lonely, conflicted, difficult, loving, and altogether human men, women, and monsters of P.H.A.S.E. must band together to save the world.

Edwin Co-Presented Three Filipino Films at 35th Annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival 2019

5/13/2019

0 Comments

 
These past two weeks, I had the pleasure co-presenting three films at 35th Annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.  

​But, first, my crew went to the World Premiere of Diana Paragas' "Yellow Rose" which opened the festival. It was the first time in festival history a Filipina American filmmaker's debut film opened the festival.  The feature film stars Eva Noblezada,
Princess Punzalan, Dale Watson and Lea Salonga.   Later, it won the Grand Jury Award for Best Narrative Film while its lead actress won the Breakthrough Performance Award.

The first film I co-presented was the North American Premiere of Mikhail Red's EERIE on May 3rd at the Downtown Independent Theater.

The director could not make it as he was filming "Block Z" in the Philippines. "Eerie" producer Malou Santos was present to introduce the film.

I also co-presented (with Craig Obligacion Wilson) the shorts program that included "The Patients" by Tess Paras and the Academy Award nominated, "Weekends" by Trevor Jimenez.

Though 
Shiang An Chuang's "Mama Pingpong Social Club" was a bloody good time!

The last film I co-presented (with 
Annie Nepomuceno) was "Journey To Ifugao" documentary from Nicanor Evangelista Jr.

At the sold-out Closing Night, I went to the World Premiere of Andrea A. Walter's beautiful "Empty By Design" that starred Rhian Ramos (above), Osric Chau, Chris Pang and Dante Basco.

Thank you to Melanie Ramos and Janna Wang for guiding us along the way. And, much thanks to the Executive Director of Visual Communications Francis Cullado for another successful film festival!

Until next year -- for the Centennial Celebration of Philippine Cinema!
