Students
from various schools and universities as well as aspiring filmmakers and actors
in Bulacan came in droves as the Internationally-acclaimed Director Brillante
Mendoza gave its first film workshop at SM City San Jose Del Monte.
During
the workshop, Director Brillante Mendoza gave an in-depth view on Philippine
Independent Film Making and discussed the behind the scenes footages of indie
film making that covered the technical know-how and comprehensive aspects including
film direction, screenplay, cinematography, acting, production design, and
sound and editing.
Mendoza,
who is known for his advocacies on tackling social issues, challenged workshop
participants’ probing and critical thinking skills while pondering on pressing
issues of the marginalized people and its communities.
The
Brillante Mendoza Film Festival is a joint project of Centerstage Productions,

advocacy to rethink and redefine cinema by sharing his knowledge and experience
in filmmaking with the new generation.
