SYNOPSIS. Techie and Jay, both OFWs from Qatar, decided to come home for two weeks to get married. Unknown to Jay, Techie is nurturing a plan to meet her virtual lover, Teknoboy, before her wedding day.
The plot thickens as Techie connives with her high school best friend, Juana, a TV writer turned struggling indie filmmaker, to be with Teknoboy.
The two women journey through Pinoy cyber culture and its many facets—online romance, PSP addiction, Facebook reunion, hi-tech baptismal party, 3G doctor, digital wedding, cyber sex—in the process discovering many things about their lives, dreams, and the society they live in. The evolution of cyber Pinoys and how relationships unfold in the middle of a hi-tech society form the core of this film.
Ngayong March ang shooting sked ng grupo ni Direk Art, kasama ang kanyang production staff—director of photography, Jeyow Eveangelista; line producer, Wenglin Serrano; musical scorers, Minco Fabregas and Herber Larracas, production designer, Fritz Silorio; production manager, Lui Montilla; technical Director, Jonathan Japzon.
In a nutshell, "Reality becomes virtual and virtual becomes reality but beyond reality and virtual is imagination," ani Direk Art.
Sinabi rin nitong liberating ang kanyang naging experience dito dahil mas malaya raw ang creative process dito kaysa sa mainstream film industry.
Ano naman ang kanyang expectations bilang isang indie film director?
"Na matalino na ang ating Pinoy moviegoers o ang masa. Kailangan lang na bigyan sila ng choice to understand the difference between mainstream and alternative cinema.
"So the audience will appreciate diversity and not get trap sa monopoly ng major players ng film industry who are into commercialism.
"About sa cast, they have accepted the roles. I just need to present it to Cinemalaya. So technically speaking, sila na ang cast namin but the approval of Cinemalaya will make it official. But the actors have accepted that they want to play their respective roles."
Ang 6th Cinemalaya 2010 ay magaganap sa Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) sa Roxas Blvd., Pasay City, nitong Hulyo.
