The Digital Revolution for Pinoy Films

First hand info from a film professor regarding the first few digital pinoy films that were made.

I’m making a disclaimer first stating that there may be digital films that could have been made earlier than these films that i will mention. I’m not sure due to lack of information and being new to this scene. But I guess these were the ones that made a lot of noise back then.

These are only descriptions and not synopsis since I really haven’t seen all of them. Feel free to correct info that may be wrong.

Still Lives by Jon Red. Circa 1999. Footages of a security camera. There are 20 actors/actresses that appeared in this film. The predecessors of Astig and Utang ni Tatang.

The Twelve by Khavn Dela Cruz. Circa 2000(?) Visual images of the movie shown while a live band plays. 12 songs played by the band.

Motel Trilogy. Circa 2000. consists of 3 short films revolving the topic of motels. Includes Desperado starring Tado before he was Tado. The short film the made Tado rise in the indie scene. Same production that did Strangebrew. Desperado tells the story of a guy who wants to get laid. Very funny stuff here yet criticizes the typical Pinoy male. It actually gives a feminist POV.
