Sine Direk Film Festival
APT Entertainment teamed up with the Directors’ Guild of the Philippines, Inc. (DGPI) in the film festival dubbed as “Sine Direk.”

Lore Reyes (Litsonero)
Peque Gallaga (Agaton & Mindy)
Mel Chonglo (Bente)

Mainstream stars that are in the said movies are:
Gloria Romero, Eddie Garcia, Robert Arevalo, Armida Siguion-Reyna, Iza Calzado (“Fuchsia”)
Paolo Contis, Michael de Mesa, Maricel Laxa and Karylle (“Litsonero”)

well this is for NICA. I must say, Filipino Indie films are really great for the number 1 reason that it shows our (Philippine’s) society in an artistic way and it serves as a tool of awakening for us who are blind, if not dead, to what is really going on. ;). make it a habit
