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.
An underground fighting circuit run by an international crime syndicate invades a retired martial arts champion’s small idyllic town.
When syndicate thugs brutally assault his wife and murder his best friend, he is left with no other choice but to fight for justice.
Ignacio, who appears and Soberano’s upcoming Blood Hunters: Rise Of The Hybrids, currently has a few noteworthy credits among those listed while The Trigonal certainly serves as a potential continuation of the local action genre revival in wake of films like Nilalang and Erik Matti’s upcoming BuyBust. It’s a credible prospect for Soberano whose Best Short Film award at the Urban Action Showcase & Expo for his Blood Hunters proof of concept helped pave the way for the feature film it is now.
Check out the trailer for The Trigonal below and definitely add Sobreano to your list of directors to hold out for in 2018.
