It's victory time once more for Taclobanons.
Leyte's pride Carlo Francisco Manatad has given Tacloban City another honor when he joined the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival's (BIFAN) Network of Asian Fantastic Films (NAFF) It Project and selected as one of the competitive entries to the one of the most anticipated genre filmfests in the world.
"Brilliant Melody," a project in development by Philippines, France and Indonesia, was submitted by Carlo Francisco to the It Project section of the fest and eventually landed one of the coveted slots in the search.
"Brilliant Melody" was considered an approach to exceptional creativity and bold vision.
It competed against equally interesting and cutting-edge storytelling entries.
The It Project section is a competitive category of NAFF that is annually anticipated by many international filmmakers.
Manatad won for the project development the Bucheon Award with a cash incentive of 10 million won (about $7,295( and the VIPO Award with a cash incentive of 500,000 yen (about ($3,429).
Take a bow, Carlo Francisco Manatad for the Waraynons.
