About 14 hours ago I left Los Angeles on my way to the Philippines. Currently I’m in Tokyo waiting for my connecting flight. In the meantime I went into the Delta Airlines lounge to charge my iPod and get some food only to find a room full of iMacs (along with the food and open bar). This is what happens when the internet is free right now, and probably won’t be when I get into my mother country:
And in case I didn’t explain why I’m headed to the Philippines, this Philippine Daily Inquirer article should answer your questions:
LOS ANGELES — Arvin Bautista, the Filipino artist who created the animated sequences in the US indie feature “My Suicide,” is representing the film in the ongoing Cinemanila International Film Festival. The film won the Crystal Bear in the Berlin International Film Festival last February and also recently bagged (along with a film from Spain) Best International Feature at the Raindance Film Festival in London.
The LA-based filmmaker, who moved with his family to the US when he was 9, will conduct an animation seminar on Monday, Oct. 19, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the U-View theater at the Fully Booked basement in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. “My Suicide” will be screened immediately after the seminar.
If you’re in my neck of the woods I’d sure love to see you there! Otherwise I’ll be back in LA in a week!
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
