Last Friday, I watched
The Debut at the local AMC theater. It is the
first Filipino-American film to be released commercially! Before the film started, one of the movie's producers stood before the audience to tell us about the making of the film as well as how important it was in terms of representing Pinoys and Pinays in the American film market
(my words, not his). He also stated that they needed as many people as possible to watch the film or else AMC was gonna pull the movie out by this Thursday! So I say to you, my Asian and non-Asian friends: go to the theater right away and watch
The Debut!!! Sure, it's only playing at
8 theaters right now
(I think all of them in Cali)...so drive to the closest one if you can!!! All right then, that's my contribution to Filipino cinema...
Of course, if
The Debut's filmmakers really want to attract moviegoers...try to meet George Lucas in person and persuade him to show the
Episode 2 trailer on that film only on the release date
(YEA, like that's gonna happen). Speaking of which, I bought the
Episode 1 DVD last Tuesday. Now all I need is a
DVD player to watch it with.
