Sino ang dapat sisihin sa pagkatsugi ng ‘Kampon’ sa MMFF?

KRIS AQUINO

Kanino ba dapat isisi ang ‘di na pagkakabilang ng pelikulang “(K)ampon” in this year’s MMFF?

Kay Derek Ramsey ba who backed out of the project? Sa Quantum Films ba which was supposed to know when the deadline for keeping the screening committee informed about the change in cast should be? Just who or what?

Conveniently, there can be possible culprits. One thing’s for sure, it must be a lesson learned for Kris Aquino, co-producer, who should slow down on giving the film advanced publicity releases gayong hindi pa nga noon nauumpisahan ang shoot.

Sobrang milyahe agad ang inilaan para sa “(K)ampon” while the seven other entries (four of which ay sa October pa ia-announce) hardly boast of an ounce of publicity. Kumbaga, nauna ang pag-iingay when there’s nothing to be noisy about.

Bagama’t it can be moved to a post-MMFF playdate, mas may impact sana ‘yon had their initial goals been met. Mas may laban sana ang “(K)ampon” kung kasali ito sa MMFF.

With a more reason for the general public to watch it.
