Casting Call for a Film

(Reposted from Cherry Alba)

PROJECT RAINCLOUD CASTING CALL
Cinema One Originals 2010 Film directed by Joaquin Pedro Valdes

Somewhere in the foggy mountains of the North, farm brothers Teo and Pol leave their home in search of their father who has mysteriously disappeared. In their quest, the brothers unveil the truth of the disappearances and witness the morbid horrors that surround them.

CHARACTER LIST

• All actors must be open to shoot on location for 7 days straight (August 1 to 9)
• All actors must be willing to do intense workshops with the Director prior to the shooting dates
• All actors must be open to certain aesthetic and styling requirements specific to the character and story

TEO
14-16 years old
Sun kissed skin, worn by work in the field among other outdoor activities. Unschooled yet intuitive. Brooding and spirited. Older brother to POL. Abrasive, strong-willed yet immature.

-SPEAKS TAGALOG WELL
-INTUITIVE and INSTINCTIVE
-NO BAD CHILD-ACTOR HABITS

POL
9-10 years old
Sun kissed skin. A quiet, shy and introverted boy. He expresses himself physically and mostly non-verbally. Unschooled. Was very helpful to the planting and harvesting activities of his dad. He USED to be playful and bright-eyed until the disappearance of his father. Constantly in sibling rivalry with his older brother TEO. His role is pivotal as he witnesses the horror of the entire film but is unable to share his pains with anyone, so he keeps it to himself.

-HAS THE MOST DOMINANT ARC IN THE STORY
-MUST BE AN EXCELLENT ACTOR, PROBABLY A BREAKTHROUGH ROLE FOR HIM
-VERSED WITH TAGALOG
-NO “KENGKOY” KID ACTING
-THE YOUNGER THE BETTER

PIDO
30-35 years old
Older brother to LILA
Good looking, athletic, strong and dominant. Deep set eyes, weathered skin, scruffy, rugged, unshaven and semi-bald. He has some piercing, some skin art. His arms are strong and vascular- looks like years of fighting, building and rebuilding have pocketed themselves into his veins. Alpha male. Pido is the leader of the tribe. Sharp, cerebral and is perpetually in deep thought.

-THE FILM HAS MOMENTS WHEREIN WE LOVE HIM AND THEN WE HATE HIM
-HE IS THREATENING, OMINOUS AND BROODING
-HAS A PRIMAL AND ANIMALISTIC NATURE
-INTENSE, LOVABLE, ASPIRATIONAL and DECEPTIVE
-PEGS: EDWARD NORTON PRIMAL FEAR/AMERICAN HISTORY X, KIEFER SUTHERLAND in LOST BOYS, COL. HANS LANDA (Inglorious Basterds), HANNIBAL LECTER
**IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT PIDO be bald and unshaven. If they have natural body hair and tattoos, better.

LILA
15-17 years old
Beautiful Ilocana girl
Innocent, meek and angelic. Younger sister to PIDO. Long hair, small almost slit eyes, and fair skinned (the way Igorot women are light skinned), ruddy, pink cheeks and subtly beautiful. She CANNOT stand out, nor can she be imposing. She must look inconspicuous and approachable.

-PROVIDES SOME SEXUAL TENSION FOR TEO
-IS SOFT SPOKEN, ATTRACTIVE and CONVINCING
-MUST POSSESS SOMETHING ETHEREAL be it in BEAUTY or manner
-SOMEONE FRESH, YOUNG, and VIRGINAL
-PEGS: A teenage GONG LI

TEBAN
18-20 years old
Son of TOLOME
He is one of the few friends that grew up with TEO, their relationship gets tarnished when TEO feels that TOLOME is somewhat responsible for the disappearance of his own father. He is tactless, talks too much and doesn’t know when to stop.

TOLOME
40-45
The father of TEBAN
A policeman who recently gets promoted. He’s become the target of TEO’s anger. He’s ambitious, manipulative and shady. He openly drinks, occasionally gambles and is a known womanizer.

THE FATHER
38-45 year old farmer
Dark skinned, average height and body strengthened by labor and time. He appears mostly as a hallucination and dream. He has disappeared in the beginning of the film leaving his two sons orphaned.

THE TRIBE
The group, around 30 men strong, is comprised of different men, from different backgrounds. Most of them young, most of them athletic. Good looking boys. Their bodies are worked from hunting, fighting, running, and playing. It is a fraternity of brewing energy and testosterone. They look to PIDO as their leader.

INGGO

25-30
PIDO’s liason officer. He is a war freak and is protective of any new face and personality. He becomes a foil to TEO especially when he smells some attraction between TEO and LILA. He is muscular, loud and constantly pissy.

BAGETS

35-40
One of the eldest in the group, but he never really took a leadership position. His name becomes a joke among the boys.

TOMMY and BENNY

18-20
Brothers, orphans who lost their parents in the earthquake in Baguio. They were placed in relief camps and given some goods for the first week, but then didn’t have any place to go thereafter.

HESUS

18-25
The ex seminary boy

ITLOG

20-25
One of the few skilled hunters in the group. He brandishes great hunting spears and is constantly with a carving knife.

KANO

17-21
The albino or anak-araw. His skin disease earned him his monicker, quiet and very very sketchy.

BAGOBO

20-25

He is dark skinned and muscular, has body art and unusual piercings. He has very long thick hair that reaches his feet. They tease him because he looks like a bagobo warrior.

LIIT

20-25
The biggest and most muscular in the group.

FERDI

20-25
A college drop out.

PUSOY

19-23
The hardest drinker. He is responsible for keeping everyone intoxicated and having a good time. He is loud and has a distinctly shrill laugh.

TE-BATS

14-16
The baby of the group. He grew up with the Tribe and knows no other family. They tease him because he always gets horny easily and quickly.

SINGKIT

18-20
A bastard child.

THE MILITARY
3 young men, 20-25
They are obviously lax and exploitative. Their overstay makes them all too familiar with the community and the town giving them license to abuse and exploit the townsfolk. The young boys take their power for granted and abuse the trust given them by threatening those who refuse them with guns and violence.


AUDITIONS
Auditions will be held on June 19-20, 10 am - 5 pm at PROVILL 7749 St. Paul Street, San Antonio Village, Makati City. Interested parties must prepare a short Filipino (Tagalog) Monologue. Please RSVP to Jeff Cabral (09178841890) to set an appointment.

Thank you!

Loving Life

This blog is so outdated. Haha. Just suffice it to know that life is good and I'm happy. And I thought I'd post this picture as it reflects just how good life is. Taken while on break during a recce outside of the country.

Keep the faith, everyone.

Love life. Live love. Embrace change.

Bilog na Hugis Itlog

May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
Mare, mare, may ikukuwento ako sa 'yo, puwede?
Oo naman mare! Puwede!

Simula na po ang automation sa darating na 2010 elections
Sa automation bibilis, bibilis ang bilangan
Kaya lalong dapat nating bantayan
Nasa balota na mga pangalan ng kandidatong pagpipilian
Alamin na po natin ang automation, paano nga ba'ng gagawin?
Ano'ng bagong instruction?

May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
Ang kailangan sa bilog ay simpleng-simple lang
Itiman, i-shade loob ng bilog

Hanapin ang bilog sa tapat ng pangalan
ng kandidatong napupusuan
Ang bilog, ang bilog sa tapat ng pangalan
'Yan ang dapat nating markahan
Gets mo ba? Gets ko na!
Gets na gets na talaga!

Computer ang magbabasa ng ating mga balota
Kung mali ang pagmarka baka boto mo'y mabasura
Sayaaaang!

Balota mo'y alagaan, boto'y makapangyarihan
Huwag gusutin o dungisan upang tiyak na mabilang
Ang boto mo, boto mo, makapangyarihan
Pumili tayo ng tuwid, ng may paninindigan

Tunay na lider na magsisilbi sa bayan
Yan ang kailangan, kailangan ng bayan
Isang Presidente, Bise Presidente
Mga Senador, puwede hanggang dose
Isang Congressman at isang Party List lang
Huwag na, huwag nang dagdagan
Isang Mayor, may Vice Mayor
At kung ilang Konsehal kailangan
Isang Gobernador, at kanyang Bise
At kung ilang Bokal, puwede!

Hanapin ang bilog Sa tapat ng pangalan
ng kandidatong napupusuan
Ang bilog, ang bilog sa tapat ng pangalan
'Yan ang dapat nating markahan

May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
Ang kailangan sa bilog ay simpleng-simple lang
Itiman, i-shade loob ng bilog
Ang loob ng bilog na hugis itlog
Huwag bibilugan, loob ang dapat itiman
Ang loob ng bilog na hugis itlog
Aw!

Tonight on GMA: World View Presents Think Positive!

Tonight, Vicky Morales meets the new face of HIV and AIDS in the Philippines.

In December, Wanggo Gallaga, son of acclaimed director Peque Gallaga, surprised the whole country when he admitted on national television that he has HIV. His admission was met with confusion: How can a young, healthy-looking professional be infected with the dreaded virus? In the minds of many Filipinos, Wanggo does not fit "the mold" of a person who has HIV or AIDS.

More than a decade ago, statistics showed that most Filipinos with HIV or AIDS are either sex workers or OFWs. Now, according to the Department of Health, infected patients are getting younger and younger. Last year, more than 60% are between the ages of 20 and 29. Most are males, infected through sexual intercourse with the same sex. Are they the new face of HIV and AIDS in the Philippines?

In his interviews, Wanggo says the main reason he came out is to help educate Filipinos about the virus. Having HIV or AIDS is no longer the death sentence it was before. With medication and a proper lifestyle, people with HIV and AIDS can now live normal lives. He also stressed the importance of getting tested for the virus.

In the US, experts are continually looking for a cure and finding ways to improve the lives of people living with the virus.

Learn more about HIV and AIDS on "World View Presents Think Positive!" tonight at 10:30 PM after Ful Haus. Only on GMA!

"World View Presents Think Positive!" is produced by GMA News and Public Affairs. Executive producer and writer, Jay Orense. Writer and researcher, Glenn Ala. Director and segment producer, Maey Bautista. Researcher, Marie Ann Saballegue.
