The MMFF's New Wave section was introduced in 2010 to cater to independent or "indie" producers ans aspiring student filmmakers fro various colleges and universities in the country.
They are almost 13 films for the New Wave and 5 of them are the Full Length that includes Saka Saka, Mga Anino ng Kahapon, Islands Dreams, Dukit and Maestra.
Recently, press and bloggers had a chance to interview the director and casts of the film Saka Saka (Political Assassin) Mr. Toto Natividad, Ejay Falcon and Joseph Marco. The presscon happened at the Whistlestop Restaurant in ELJ Building, ABS-CBN Compound.
"Gusto namin ibalik ang hilig ng tao sa action film which is hina hanap hanap na nila ngayon kasi matagal siya nawala eh" direk Toto said. "Alam nyo the trends in movie is revolving lang naman eh, nauso ung comedy, romance and nagyon ibabalik natin ang action, especially now that we have great actors like Ejay and Joseph na pwede na talagang isabak sa action" he added.
"Gusto ko po talaga ng action na genre, kung papipiliin po ako mas comfortable po ako with action project, specially when direk Toto is on my side po, madami po akong natututunan sa mga itinuturo nya" Ejay divulge. "Mas nauna po itong movie na ito than our action-serye na Dugong Buhay, kaya masasabi ko na ito po yung naging training ground ko before mag Dugong Buhay" he added.
Watch out for more actions from Saka Saka starting tomorrow and let us all patronage the Filipino films specially now that the festival is about to start....
