A Nick Olanka film

"Ang Huling Araw ng Linggo".

Ang Huling Araw ng Linggo spans a week in a life of seven individuals with interconnected narratives. Domeng is involved in networking or multi-level marketing business and plans to encourage his estranged daughter Luna to join in this unscrupulous business. Luna is abandoned by her husband and son so she asks help from her mother Aling Tess. Aling Tess is a land lady who lives alone and fancies a young male boarder named Kulas. Kulas is a grocery store employee who aspires to become a store manager to impress Julie. Julie is a laundry shop attendant who is obsessed with a male costumer named Brian. Brian is a nurse in a local hospital who wants to work abroad so he persuades his girlfriend Sally to provide for his "fixer" fees. An accounting graduate who failed to pass the board exam for two consecutive years, Sally enters Domeng's networking business in the hopes of proving her worth. When she found out that networking is a scam Sally plans to take revenge on Domeng. The film illustrates the interconnectedness of our lives, a cycle of random events in which the decisions we make are as important as the choices we didn't take.

SEROKS digital movie at Robinsons Galleria Nov 24.

Cinema One Originals and Ledge Productions in cooperation with NCCA and VitalStrats Creative Solutions present "SEROKS". "SEROKS", a psychological drama starring Juliana Palermo unreels at the 2nd Annual Cinema One Originals Digital Movie Festival on November 24-26 at the Indie Sine (Cinema 8 ) of Robinsons Galleria. One of the winning seven digital movie proposals, "SEROKS" will be shown Friday 5pm, Saturday 1pm
and Sunday 945pm. Tickets at P100.

The digital movie written and directed by Ed Lejano, makes use of the film noir style and fuses elements of the thriller, in conveying a recurring pattern of duplication that reflect the film's title.

Set in the vibrant world of Recto, Palermo plays the mysterious woman who moves into a boarding house above a xerox shop. Her femme fatale character soon encounters the xerox operator played by Neil Ryan Sese (who portrayed one of the brothers in Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Olivares).

Their fateful meeting triggers a series of duplicating events. This ushers the film's unpredictable plot developments as it branches out to involve the other offbeat characters that inhabit the world of "SEROKS".

The richly-textured film noir drama also stars Lauren Novero, Soliman Cruz, Mystika, Ramon Bautista, Alchris Galura and Maria Isabel Lopez. Cinematography is by the award-winning Neil Daza, the screenplay co-written by Lye Candelaria and
line-produced by Amor Olaguer.

Catch the intriguing Pinoy digital movie that tackles the notion of life as a photocopy next weekend, November 24-26.
