Can you tell a funny story in three-and-a-half minutes?
If you can, then you will appreciate the way Camera Café is presented. This quick-paced comedy TV series will begin airing its fifth season on QTV-11 and GMA-7 starting October 13, 2008.
For three-and-a-half minutes, seasoned comedians portray office workers who converge in an automated coffee machine to chat about the latest gossip, their love lives, office promotions, and foul-ups in the company.
Camera Café looks back on its one year of airing with a TV special titled Camera Café First Anniversary Special Parts 1 and 2 on two consecutive Saturdays of October. Go on a nostalgic laugh trip as the show replays its funniest 3.5-minute episodes, with bloopers and interviews of the cast and production staff in-between.
The TV special will be aired on QTV-11 on October 18 and 25, 9:10 p.m.
During Seasons 2 to 4, among those who appeared in the show
were Celia Rodriguez, Bella Flores, Yasmien Kurdi, Benjie Paras, Andrea del
Rosario, the French ambassador in the Philippines Gerard Chesnel, and others.
Starting October 13, viewers can look forward to seeing Rio Locsin, Joel Torre, Ronnie Lazaro, Drew Arellano, Vandolph, Ana Capri and Miriam Quiambao in the newest episodes of the TV show. Aiza Seguerra reprises her role as someone who continues her quest for her missing father.
As an added treat, Camera Café will now be seen five times a day on QTV-11 instead
of just three times a day. Get your dose of snack entertainment at the
following schedules: weekdays on QTV-11 at 10 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 2 p.m., 8:20
p.m. and 11 p.m. and twice daily on GMA-7 at 8:55 a.m. and late night slot
before sign off.
Four other shows and a "secret project" are in the works for the Philippine creative team. One of these is You Women, a five-minute comedy that shows silly situations women get into. According to French producer Henri de Lorme, "Short content is very powerful."
