Louie Ignacio
Earning a slot at the 10th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, as part of the Director’s Showcase Category, is Luisito “Louie” Lagdameo Ignacio’s “Asintado.”
During a recent interview, Louie said he used his experiences in directing concerts, musicals, soap operas, movies and TV commercials in helming “Asintado.” He also used his understanding of colors as culled from his experiences as a painter in creating the film. He wants “Asintado” to be as vivid as possible.
“Ang pelikulang ito ay combination ng films at paintings parang pinipinta ko ang mga eksena,” he said.
He is confident that people who are familiar with his work would definitely see a different Louie Ignacio via “Asintado.”
Louie shared that the inspiration behind “Asintado” is the Taong Putik Festival held every June 24 at Barangay Bibiclat, Aliaga, Nueva Ecija.
He is honored that the film is now among Cinemalaya entries.
“When I tried for Cinemalaya, siyempre sa dami ng sumasali dyan, may luck factor. Siyempre pag sinuwerte ka, nagustuhan ng committee ‘yung entry mo, magiging proud ka. I’m very happy and honored na napasali ako,” intimated Louie.
So what’s his goal in joining Cinemalaya?
“Kasi di ba sa industriya natin bihira dumating ang mga magagandang materyal? At ‘yung materyal na sinubmit ko feeling ko ‘yun na. Sabi ko nga bago ako umalis sa industriyang ito gusto kong mag-iwan ng magandang pelikula. I think ito na ‘yun kasi walang producer na basta mag-invest sa ganitong klaseng movie,” he pointed-out.
Written by Palanca awardee Socorro Villanueva, “Asintado” stars Aiko Melendez, Gabby Eigenmann, Rochelle Pangilinan, Rita de Guzman, Jak Roberto, Jake Vargas and Migs Cuaderno. Its executive producers are Jose Mari Abacan, Elvira Yap Go, Oliverio Laperal Jr. and Louie himself.
Is he looking forward to winning awards at the Festival? “Ibinibigay ‘yan pag gustong ibigay ni Lord. Ang sisiguraduhin ko lang gagandahan ko ‘yung movie. Manalo, matalo, at least maganda ‘yung movie na pinaghirapan namin,” commented Louie.
