It was late 2016 when I sought to dive a little more into the work of filmmaker and stunt performer Temujin Shirzada. His Golden Horde-produced Mulan proof-of-concept eventually led me into the throes of Asian-American martial artist, Sarah Chang and as such, her activity also helped keep me abreast of some really exciting cinema to come out of the Philippines. It’s a darn good time too, especially given the warm reception of Erik Matti’s latest, BuyBust. Other directors helping to pave the way forward in Filipino cinema beyond politics and creative differences as a result, particularly director, actor and martial artist Vincent Soberano, are already showing promise in this millenium, and rest assured, the nationally renowed Wushu stylist is certainly making her own investment quite clear and present as a result.

As such, questions followed for anyone wondering what’s been procuring the long wait period. This week, Soberano […]

EXCLUSIVE: Emerging director, actor and martial artist Vincent Soberano is hot on the campaign trail for his current film slate this week in Beijing. With at least two of his upcoming releases now privately showcasing in Beijing for an audience comprised of major Hollywood and Chinese industry executives and distributors therein, it’s a milestone to marvel at with Soberano now hailing as the first Filipino director to be privy to a screening of this kind. Not for nothing either, as the footage speaks for itself and those who’ve seen last year’s teaser trailer for Blood Hunters: Rise Of The Hybrids would likely stand in accordance. Since then, the eight-time world Muay Thai champion’s craft behind the lens has only continued to grow and with none other than latest of one of the aforementioned two titles now readying for a local theatrical release this May with martial arts revenge thriller, The […]
With at least one directing debut coming down the pipeline, another is well on the way from filmmaker multihyphenate Vincent Soberano. The first teaser for The Trigonal has arrived over the weekend ahead of its May 2 release with a cast that enlists Ian Taylor Ignacio, Sarah Chang and Rhian Ramos.

It’s a credible prospect for Soberano whose Best Short Film […]
