00:00We're a big family. There's six of us.
00:02So, as the youngest,
00:04parents don't usually,
00:06parang hindi nila nahahanap yung youngest,
00:08di ba? He must be somewhere here in the house.
00:13So, but
00:14at least direct nakita nyo rin
00:16the pride that your parents had when
00:17eventually you showed them your first film.
00:20And my mom acted
00:22in a lot of my films before
00:24she passed away. Which films,
00:26direct? Growing up,
00:28she kept on telling us,
00:29watch Oro Plata Mata, I'm there
00:31as a labandera, ganang-ganang.
00:34So, I,
00:35when I became a director, I
00:37always use her
00:39for my movies.
00:42As an extra,
00:43as a, you know, as a guest,
00:45as a friend of the
00:47Nanay of the Bida.
00:49May TF naman yun, direct.
00:51May TF naman.
00:53Sobrang liit.
00:55Pero pamayag si Nanay.
00:57So, speaking of you casting
00:59your mom in a different
01:00films, direct,
01:01I remember, I read
01:02that you always
01:04base your characters
01:05on people you've
01:07either encountered
01:07or people that you know.
01:10So, because you
01:10like to make films that are
01:12really very character-driven.
01:13then, pag ganun ba, direct?
01:16Parang for me, that suggests
01:17that you're a very
01:18observant person.
01:20So, minsan ba, direct?
01:21Kung harin, nakikipagkwentuhan ka,
01:22you know, in a normal setting,
01:24parang you just pick up an idea
01:26or parang may flashbulb moment
01:27parang, ay,
01:28pwede ko itong i-incorporate
01:29itong character na to
01:30in my next film.
01:31Yeah, because it's really hard.
01:34I abide by whoever said it.
01:37I forgot, you know,
01:38by the filmmaker who said,
01:39film what you know.
01:41You cannot film what you don't know.
01:42Of course, there's another
01:43filmmaker also saying,
01:45in order to be always ready
01:48and careful,
01:49film what you don't know.
01:50Because then it forces you
01:52to study harder
01:53and figure out
01:54what you don't know
01:55and put it, you know,
01:57and find out more.
01:58So, those are two
02:00different schools of thought.
