One of the films to watch out for in this year’s revenge festival, the Metro Manila Film Festival, is directed by award winning movie maker, Joel Lamangan and written by Quinn Carillo.
My Father, Myself is already making trends and waves as soon as its film trailer was released in November.
Starring the formidable, Dimples Romana, Allan Paule and Jake Cuenca. They are joined by rising talent Sean de Guzman and newcomer Tiffany Grey in the cast.
The film revolves around Robert (Jake Cuenca) and his wife (Dimples Romana). The couple have a daughter (Tiffany Grey) and an adopted son, Matthew (Sean de Guzman) whose biological father is Robert’s deceased best friend and former lover, Domeng (Allan Paule). Conflict ensues as Robert becomes sexually attracted to a teenage Matthew while Matthew impregnates his stepsister.
The film circles around LGBTQ and incest. Themes that always tickle the fancies of film goers.
According to director Lamangan, the movie is also based on a true story that occured in his home province. The film may be dark but it also points out the negatives and realism in life with closeted gay characters.
My Father, Myself is produced under Mentorque Entertainment led by Brian Dy and 3:16 Media Network owned and managed by Len Carillo and distributed by Mr. Wilson Tieng’s Solar Pictures.
