A short film made by Pinay auteur Debbie Formoso is having a world premiere at Tribeca Filmfest.
"Pretend" (Nagpapanggap) was filmed entirely in the Philippines - in Quezon City and Tanauan, Batangas. It was set against the turbulent backdrop of a country on the edge of rebellion.
Nagpapanggap is the story of one woman's struggle to preserve her own sense of self as her husband's political power escalates. It stars Thelma Sugay, Abe Pagtama, and Kristine Sabella. Dialogue is in Tagalog with English subtitles.
Nagpapanggap has already won for Formoso the best screenplay award at the Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television’s Film Outside the Frame Festival.
The NY-based Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro and partners as a response to the attacks on the World Trade Center.This year, runs from April 25 to May 06.
