Award-winning Filipino/MMFF movies mai-enjoy na sa HOOQ
MANILA, Philippines – Ang HOOQ, na Asia’s largest video-on-demand service ang pinakabagong exclusive presenter nang natapos na 41st Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) at New Wave category nito. Sa pagsasanib-puwersa ng HOOQ at MMFF, binigyang kasagutan nila ang panawagan ng mga entertainment buffs na mahilig manood ng kanilang paboritong pelikula at TV show saan man at kailan man nila gusto. Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pag-stream at pag-download ng mga award-winning at quality locally-produced films.
Mula 2010, ang New Wave category ay binigyan ng oportunidad ang mga independent filmmakers para maipakita ang kanilang galing sa paggawa ng pelikula at para na rin mabigyan ng pagkakataong pondohan ang kanilang mga future film projects. Bukod sa mga animated at short film entries na ipinalabas sa mga sinehan noong nakaraang MMFF, ini-release rin ang mga ito sa HOOQ app. Ito ang kauna-unahan sa kasaysayan ng MMFF na ang mga entry ay kasabay na napapanood sa mga sinehan at online.
“We want the world to take notice of the best content Philippine cinema can offer,” ani ni Jane Walker, HOOQ Philippines Country Manager. “Supporting young filmmakers now is investing in the future of entertainment,” dagdag pa niya.
Ang mga nanalo sa New Wave category include the animated film, Buttons, which was created by Marvel Obemio, Francis Ramirez, and Jared Garcia ng De La Salle University – College of St. Benilde at ang short film entitled, Mumu, written and directed by Cheryl Tagyamon ng UP Diliman.
Ang ibang mga nagwagi ay kinabibilangan nina Krystal Brimber (Best Festival Child Performer: Honor Thy Father); Cesar Montano (HOOQ Male celebrity of the night); Jennylyn Mercado (HOOQ Female celebrity of the night); Dan Villegas and Antoinette Jadaone (Best Original Story, #WalangForever); Paul Sta. Ana (Best Screenplay, #WalangForever); Erik Matti (Best Director, Honor Thy Father); Tirso Cruz III (Best Supporting Actor, Honor Thy Father); Maine Mendoza (Best Supporting Actress, My Bebe Love); Jericho Rosales (Best Actor, #WalangForever); and Jennyln Mercado (Best Actress, #WalangForever).
