1. Lakhi Siap is a 2006 Philippine High School for the Arts graduate who’s now based with his family in Illinois, USA, where he’s taking up Nursing (at Harper’s College). Last year he finished his PHSA studies with a riveting recital performance in “Lihis,” Manny Canteras’ Filipino translation of Martin Sherman’s “Bent,” about two homosexuals finding love and learning how to survive in a Nazi concentration camp. Now Mr. Siap is spreading his wings by bringing his talent to Harper’s College, specifically to its upcoming production of Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona.”
2. Paolo Dy is a writer-director-cinematographer from Cebu who has an entry up on the On The Lot competition website, a project by Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks Television. Mr. Dy’s 5-minute short film is called “QWERTY,” a suspense-thriller starring Michael Williams, Miguel Faustmann, Cathy Azanza, Arvin Trinidad of Tanghalang Ateneo, Altair Alonso of BlueRep, Boyd Tinio and Irra Cenina. All theater actors, but, no, it’s not a filmed version of a play. Watch the movie, and discover why it has attracted enthusiastic reviews and consistent 5-star ratings from viewers around the world. Great film with first-rate cinematography and a socko ending (and no special effects at that)!
