The Philippine film industry is in a dismal state and urgently needs government support to keep going, veteran film writer and director Jose Javier Reyes said Tuesday.
“We need to give local producers a push by providing them with incentives and seed money. Otherwise, it is pointless to go into the festivals, it is pointless to aspire for the Oscars if we don’t have producers producing films,” Reyes added.Reyes said local film producers are not producing movies for cinema release at the moment because they would just end up losing money rather than earning revenue or even breaking even.
“If ever there are producers who are active, they are no longer serving the local industry alone. They provide content to various [streaming] platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix,” Reyes said.
Urgent support lmao Most PH films suck hairy balls. There are very few I like because they are written competently and tells their story compellingly (like On The Job, or that one with Anne Curtis raiding the slums) The vast majority are umpteenth iterations of Pamday or Emteng
Sumusuporta nga pero sa mga basurang pelikula ni kabayo!

Isa ka rin di magaling na director
