Hot off the press is another article based off an interview I gave while I was in the Philippines for the Cinemanila Film Festival. This time it was for the Philippine Star newspaper, specifically their Starweek Sunday newspaper.
A glimpse:
Aside from bringing My Suicide to film fests around the world, Arvin, who describes himself as “fiercely indpendent,” keeps busy with his own animation and design outfit, Greasy Pig Studios. “My Suicide was my girlfriend for three years,” he quips. “Now I’m just ‘dating around.’” He has been working on a documentary entitled Alab ng Puso, about his parents who were student activists. He hopes to return to the Philippines soon to finish the project.
I highly prefer doing interviews in person or over the phone as opposed to email because I prefer to retain my rhythm and sense of humor, some of which gets lost when I type things out. In this case, however, I’m a little embarrassed to think that some of my quotes, when put to text, and taken out of context, read a little different than what was intended (that girlfriend/dating line doesn’t seem as charming I think as when I say it in person).
But hey, no publicity is bad publicity.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
