00:00Alam niyo ba na patuloy ang pag-arangkada ng ating local films?
00:03At isa sa mga dahilan nito ay ang mga film festival na hindi nagsasawang magbigay ng platform sa kanila.
00:08Tamayan, Diane, at isang arian, yung Sine Kabataan.
00:11Kasama natin ngayong umaga ang dalawang talent sa filmmaker,
00:14na sino-director John or Jano Pellias,
00:18ng hindi pa nag-aagaan si Tao,
00:21director Chess Kapagatpat, ng Teacher Teacher.
00:24Welcome sa Rise and Shine, Pilipinas.
00:26Good morning!
00:27And of course, congratulations ito sa inyong films, sa mga obra ninyo.
00:31Pwede nyo bang ikwento sa amin?
00:33Siko na, teaser, nung konti ng inyong pelikula, direct na ano?
00:36Yung hindi pa nag-aagaan si Tao, tungkol po siya sa isang chubby kid
00:39na nagkaroon ng first awareness dun sa katawan niya.
00:43Kasi kinukutya siya ng mga tita, ng mga kaimigan niya.
00:46So yun yung film, basically talking about yung first awareness dun sa kanyang katawan na mataba.
00:51Okay, interesting.
00:53Sa inyo naman, direct Chess.
00:54Teacher Teacher naman po, tungkol siya sa apat na high school students
00:58na mayroong favorite teacher na mag-retire na.
01:02So since music students sila, napag-desisyonan nila na gumawa ng isang final big performance
01:10para sa beloved teacher nila.
01:12Okay, anong pakiramdam na napasama sa listahan?
01:16At sineng kabataan ang iyong mga pelikula?
01:17Siguro, let's start with Chess ka naman.
01:19Sobrang thankful po, lalo na sa Film Development Council of the Philippines na mabigyan ng platforms yung mga kabataan
01:27na ma-experience kung ano ba yung feeling na gumawa ng pelikula.
01:32And especially, since nagkaroon din po kami ng mga laboratory,
01:35so na-workshop yung scripts namin, na-workshop kung paano kami mag-pitch.
01:40So napakaganda niya pong opportunities for the youth to experience filmmaking.
01:46So sabi niyo ba yung mga workshops, so parang nakipag-collaborate din kayo
01:50or natutod sa mga so-called mentors at saka mga veterano na sa pelikula.
01:54Ganun ba yun?
01:55Tell us about that experience.
01:57Since itong mga mentors ito, maraming mga idol-idol lang namin sila dati,
02:01nakikita lang namin sila sa mga pelikula ang pinapanood namin,
02:03so sobrang unreal yung talagang hands-on sila sa pag-guide sa amin,
02:08sa mga concepts namin, sa mga scripts namin.
02:11Parang meron po kaming story development workshop,
02:14and then meron kaming editing workshop,
02:16and then meron din po kaming pitching workshop din na ginawa.
02:19Okay, the likes of who? Kasi yung mga nakatrabaho nyo doon.
02:22Ako po si Direk Carlo Cato, si Miss Ilsa Mal, si editor,
02:26and si Miss Christine De Leon for pitching producer.
02:29Yung sa'yo ba?
02:30Ako po si Direk Paul Santaana, yung sa script,
02:35and then si Direk Manette, yung sa editing and pitching po si Direk Christine De Leon.
02:40It must have been an experience to see those in the industry.
02:43Tsaka I understand of course, since you guys have pitched these topics,
02:47while some of these topics we think, or we thought,
02:50na nalaranasan ito ng mga tao,
02:52pero we need also of course for many people to know
02:55about these things that will happen, no?
02:57Lalo na pag may mga kamag-anak na nakita,
03:00naganti itsura mo,
03:02titignan na naman na,
03:03uy, nagiba itsura mo,
03:04ba't ganito tumabakar whatsoever?
03:06And among others,
03:07upon checking your stories, your films,
03:10we want to know gaano ka importante na nagagamat natin
03:13ng pelikula to discuss these things,
03:16especially mga topics na
03:18alam natin pasok doon sa
03:20panlasan ng mga tao,
03:22at talagang mararanasan at mararanasan ng mga Pilipino.
03:25Direk.
03:25Ako pa naniniwala ko na I think it's better to be,
03:28to exist rather than not exist.
03:31Kaya itong pelikula is a way for us to tell our own inner stories,
03:35kung ano may mga tanas namin sa buhay,
03:37ano yung mga gusto namin ipaglaban,
03:39mga bubog namin sa buhay.
03:40So parang film is a way for us to express that,
03:43lalo na sa aming mga kabataan,
03:45ang dami namin gustong ipaglaban sa buhay.
03:47Ay, yun.
03:48Sa pelikula mo naman siya.
03:49Sa teacher-teacher,
03:50hango po siya talaga sa high school experience ko from Marikina.
03:55And especially since yung mother ko po
03:57and yung grandma ko are both teachers,
03:59natakal po sa film,
04:01yung mga dinadanas nila,
04:02and yun nakita kong paghirap nila growing up,
04:05na nung bata ko parang,
04:08ay, normal lang yan,
04:09na parang teachers lang naman sila ganyan.
04:12Pero growing up,
04:12I realized na yung teachers natin pala talaga yung nag-shape
04:16sa kung anong magiging tayo paglaki natin.
04:20So, homage ko po siya sa mga naging teachers natin before
04:24and at the same time,
04:25sa experience ko din as a music student nung high school.
04:29Okay.
04:29Sakto pa naman teachers man.
04:31Yes.
04:33Pero tell us also about yung creative process.
04:36Ano yung pinaka na-enjoy ninyo
04:37and also challenge in making this film?
04:39Direk siya.
04:40I think it's collaborating with the best people that I know.
04:43Ito mga crew ko, yung mga cast ko,
04:47matagal ko na silang kilala,
04:48matagal ko na silang napapanood.
04:49Tapos yung mga producers ko,
04:51mga collaborators ko,
04:53matagal ko na po sila kaklasi sa school.
04:54So, seeing them really work in a set na setting,
04:58very professional setting.
04:59So, parang maraming kaming full circle moments na
05:02from starting out as students,
05:05tapos making an actual film po talaga.
05:07Okay.
05:09For teacher,
05:11I think biggest limitation na magpulagi yung budget.
05:15So, very thankful sa FDCP for giving us the platform
05:18and hopefully magkaroon pa din ng mas maraming opportunities
05:21for students na mabigyan ng grants
05:24and ganong klaseng experience for their filmmaking.
05:29Okay.
05:29I wonder tuloy,
05:31since you guys have come up with these films,
05:35meron na tayo mga existing knowledge about how to do it,
05:38yung mga dati na natin ginagawa
05:39kapag gumagawa tayo na mag-start mga short films natin.
05:42Ano yung nabigay ng Film Development Council of the Philippines sa inyo
05:46na inyong mga workshops,
05:47dun sa mga basong kulang pa sa tubig
05:51na nalagyan nila,
05:53napunong nila,
05:53kwentuhan nyo naman kami,
05:54baka pwedeng someday ng mga filmmakers
05:56na sila ay magamit din nila
05:58yung mga natutuhan ninyo.
06:01Direk dyan.
06:02O sige, ikaw naman, Jessica.
06:04I think sa akin po yung
06:06parang sneak peek talaga sa industry
06:09na hindi mo ma-experience
06:11kung hindi ka mabigyan ng ganong klaseng opportunity
06:15na parang,
06:16kasi po,
06:16since nag-premiere kami last week,
06:19parang may pa red carpet sila,
06:20ganyan.
06:21Tapos,
06:22may pa-talkback din po
06:23in front of big cinema
06:25sa Shangri-La.
06:26So parang napaka
06:29gandang experience niya
06:31for us
06:32na makatikim ng ganong
06:34parang high
06:35na hahanap-hanapin namin
06:37and parang we always want to work
06:39towards
06:40ma-achieve yung ganon
06:41moving forward.
06:43Okay.
06:44I think sa akin po,
06:46importante yung ginawa ng FTCP,
06:48lalo na sa mga up-and-coming filmmakers,
06:50kasi I think yung mga gandong platforms
06:52gives us confidence
06:53to keep moving,
06:54to keep pursuing what we want to do,
06:57lalo na magkwento
06:58at magbahagi ng mga pelikula.
07:00Keep moving.
07:01Okay.
07:02I'm a wonder,
07:03doon sa mga,
07:04kasi maraming rin gumagawa ng pelikula,
07:06so mahirap ba yung process nyo
07:09to be selected also?
07:10And paano yung grant also?
07:13Saan nyo siya pa pwede magamit?
07:14May mga,
07:15ano pa yung mga requirements for that?
07:17For sure,
07:17there'd be interested as well.
07:19Ako po kasi last year,
07:21I tried to submit last year,
07:23pero hindi ako nakapasok.
07:24So ganon siya ka,
07:25tedious process of really
07:26trying to create a story
07:28for the festival.
07:29Na gusto rin natin ma-reflect
07:31yung hinaing ng mga kabataan
07:32na ngayon,
07:33ngayong mga panahon.
07:34Okay.
07:35So iba yung entry mo last year?
07:36Iba rin po.
07:37Okay.
07:37So parang naghanap ako ng,
07:38ano ba ba yung
07:39danas ko nung kabataan ako
07:41na pwede kong ipasok for this festival?
07:42At yun,
07:43luckily nakapasok to.
07:44Ang galing.
07:45Okay.
07:45Sweeter the second time around.
07:47Okay.
07:47Try and try lang.
07:48How about your experience?
07:52Kabato rin pa ako nun
07:53kasi nationwide yung submission.
07:56So,
07:57madaming nakapasok.
07:58Madaming nag-submit.
08:00Marami din pa akong kilala
08:01na nag-submit.
08:02So,
08:04ayun po,
08:05very thankful na
08:07nakapasok.
08:08Pero,
08:09out of all
08:10the kabataan.
08:12Ayun nga po,
08:13very tedious process siya
08:14kasi
08:15sinasala din po talaga nila
08:16and
08:17they only get 10
08:19official entries.
08:20Wow!
08:21Agaling, ano?
08:22The best 10 films.
08:24I wonder tuloy nga yung
08:24Teacher's Month,
08:25yung kanyang pelikula.
08:26Kamusta?
08:27Ano ba man kukuha
08:27ng mga esadyante,
08:29mga guru,
08:31mga nanay
08:31ng mga esadyante,
08:32ng mga other stakeholders
08:33when they watch this
08:34Teacher Teacher?
08:35Yung Teacher Teacher po,
08:37ang hope ko sa kanya
08:38ay maka-inspire siya
08:40ng mga aspiring artists,
08:42yung susunod na
08:45mga artista ng bayan.
08:47And yun din po
08:49ang goal namin
08:49na mapalabas siya
08:50sa Marikina,
08:51mapanood siya
08:52ng maraming estudyante,
08:53mga guru.
08:54Para,
08:56yun po,
08:57yung hope namin
08:58na ma,
08:59yung fire sa kanila,
09:00yung burning passion,
09:01mas ma-ignite pa
09:03para tuloy-tuloy lang
09:04silang mag-create
09:05na mag-create.
09:06Ano to drama?
09:07Nakakatawa ba?
09:08Ah, or maiiyak kami yan.
09:09Comedy, drama.
09:10Oh, comedy, drama.
09:11Or music,
09:12music film.
09:12Alam mo,
09:13isa sa pinakamahirap
09:14isulat ay komedya.
09:15Oo, oo naman.
09:15May subject for that,
09:17writing comedy,
09:18as in of all different
09:19kinds of genre.
09:20Kaya hindi madaling
09:21may pull-off
09:22yung ganyang klaseng pelikula.
09:23No wonder na pili.
09:24Sited ako mapanood yan.
09:26Alright,
09:26si Direkjano naman.
09:28Ano naman mararamdaman
09:29ng mga taong
09:30manonood
09:31ditong pelikula mo?
09:32I think coincidentally rin
09:34National Mental Health
09:36next month
09:37is October.
09:38So I think
09:39we have plans
09:40to hopefully show it
09:41to universities din.
09:42Kasi I think
09:43importanteng
09:44yung paksa
09:45ng pelikula
09:46talking about
09:47mental health
09:47for children
09:48naroon na
09:49sobrang tabo ni
09:50sa Pilipinas.
09:50I think it's an important
09:51film for us
09:53to really get a glimpse
09:54of ano ba yung mga
09:55nararamdaman
09:56itong mga kabata,
09:57ano mga bata,
09:58very small,
09:587 years old,
10:009, 7 to 10 years old.
10:01Ano ba yung nasa isip nila
10:02during these times
10:03na tignadanos?
10:04So yung sa pelikula mo,
10:06si Tao,
10:07ilang taon siya doon?
10:08Grade 3 student po siya.
10:09Grade 3 pa lang?
10:10Okay.

10:13nasa sa kanyang katawan.
10:14That's interesting.
10:15Sa paano mga papanood
10:16ang inyong pelikula
