CONFESSIONAL
On a trip to Cebu to document the Sinulog Festival, small time filmmaker Ryan Pastor meets Lito Caliso, a former mayor who decides to confess in front of Ryan's camera all the crimes he committed while in office.
"…a casually winning first-person narrative that is funny and insightful and not a little cynical, tossing in along the way every trick known to an independent filmmaker…"
- NOEL VERA
"Young and energetic, quick and inventive, Confessional is a fine example of where our local cinema ought to be heading, if everything goes right."
- PHILBERT DY
"…handsomely made, surprisingly sleek and very entertaining."
- OGGS CRUZ
