Beyond the box and Voyage Studios presents:
Now on its sixth year, the prestigious Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival has five big name and established directors adding luster to this year's Competition with the new Director's Showcase category. Competing in this category are Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio by Mario O'Hara, Two Funerals by Gil Portes, Sigwa by Joel Lamangan, Isang Pirasong Buhay by Mark Meily, and Pink Halo-Halo by Joselito Altarejós. The Director's Showcase category features works by Filipino directors who have directed at least three full-length feature films which have been released commercially.
Shot in Masbate, Bicol Region, Pink Halo-Halo is the first full length feature shot entirely in the Masbateño language. The film is partly based on real life events and tells the tale of what families of soldiers have to deal with in times of adversity. Back in 2008, a young boy catches a TV report about a wounded soldier pleading for rescue. That soldier is his father. He and his mother seek help that comes too late.
Directed by Joselito Altarejós. It stars Allen Dizon, Angeli Bayani, Dexter Doria, Mark Fabillar and introducing Paolo Constantino.
Synopsis:
Natoy, like any other child, finds joy and excitement in the simplest of things, especially eating halo-halo filled with pink gelatin and red sago. Things change suddenly when, as he is watching television, a news report about the ongoing war in Mindanao shows footage of a badly wounded soldier waiting for rescue . That soldier almost bleeding to death is his father, Corporal Lino Bolante.
That report starts his journey as he and his mother Sonia wait for help that comes too late. As far away as the war, this story does not just show how the war in Mindanao robs a child of his innocence, but also shows the shadows of the wars that Filipino homes confront everyday.Sources: Youtube
