Joel Lamangan goes indie and DMV Entertainment tries film production in the movie Walang Kawala.
Natuloy na ang shooting ng unang independent movie ni Direk Joel Lamangan from the first-time producer Manny Valera under his company DMV Entertainment, which is better known for managing talents.
Actually unang natapos ni Direk Joel ang movie na Fuschia. But this was a collaborative project of the Director's Guild of Philippines (DGP), the Film Academy of the Philippines director's guild, and the Kapisanan ng mga Direktor sa Pelikulang Pilipino (KDPP).
A story of true love, rape, and revenge, Walang Kawala stars the two top male stars of DMV Entertainment na sina Polo Ravales and Joseph Bitangcol, with the special participation of Jean Garcia.
A new DMV talent, Althea Vega, is being introduced in the movie. Makakasama rin nila ang mga non-DMV stars na sina Emilio Garcia and Marco Morales (of SOP's Showboys) under Leo Dominguez and the self-managed Paolo Rivero.
Breaker ang Walang Kawala for Direk Joel who will soon start shooting Desperadas 2. Sa TV, he has started production for the next Sine Novela Una Kang Naging Akin, starring Angelica dela Cruz, Wendell Ramos, and Maxene Magalona. Joel is also one of the directors of the Thursday-night anthology Obra.
