"On the Job” and ”Honor Thy Father” director #ErikMatti has had enough backhanded compliments to Filipino films.
On this episode of The Rolling Stone Philippines Interview, he shares his usual clapback — “Ayaw namin ‘yon! I want you to go out and say, ‘T*ngina, ganda ng movie talaga!’ — as well as his learnings from the film festival circuit, the Denis Villeneuve film he could’ve directed, and what it will take for Filipino cinema to move forward.
