Cebuano Film Industry: Naa pa bay padulngan? (Bisaya)



"Mas-maayo pa ang mga foreigner, nakakita na ug kahibaw sa atong mga salida
samtang ang mga sugbuanon mismo wala kahibaw." 

Usa ni sa mga problema nga na-unta hatagan ug supporta gikan sa mga sugbuanon. Kasagaran sa atong ganahan nga tanawn nga salida sa sinehan kay gikan sa Hollywood o sa Lungsod ng Maynila kay tungod sa high budget ang salida ug nindot ug mga effects. Kinsa man tingale ang dili mutanaw na ang bida na ilang makit-an kay ilang mga paboritong Hollywood actors ug actresses? 




Tungod sa ingani nga butang, ang mga Cebuano-made na salida wala na nuon nahatagan ug tagad kay tungod sa low-budget siya ug dili ilhan ang mga artista. Usa pa sa mga gi-atubang nga problema ay ang supporta sa mga sinehan diri sa sugbo.

Cebuano Documentary



“No End In Sight” (Walay Tumoy na Punterya) by Cierlito E. Tabay is described as an unsettling 2012 documentary that provides an intimate view of the world of illegal backyard gun-making in Danao. The makers fashion pistols, rifles, and even submachine guns out of scrap metal, often using only basic hand tools, and then sell them on the black market."

Eugene Domingo ‘tired of selling’ films

An article from Yahoo.com

"Pagod na akong magbenta."
This is what award-winning actress Eugene Domingo said about the lack of support Filipino viewers are giving socially-relevant, internationally-acclaimed films.
The award-winning actress tried to hold back tears as she told media at the presscon of “Barber’s Tales”: “If those honors and those awards are not enough, I don’t know what is for you to witness a film that has a story to tell, portrayed by very good actors, I don’t know how (else to make the film sell)."
Eugene, who won a Best Actress award in the 2013 Tokyo International Film Festival for “Barber’s Tales,” admitted she is not sure whether rave reviews from foreign critics and moviegoers are enough to bring Filipinos to cinema houses once the film opens in theaters nationwide on August 13."
