No. It's not another pre-selling spree for a new condominium tower. 'Condo' is the first film breaking out of the digital box from a new band of filmmakers.
"It was first a working title, the title 'Condo' that is", executive producer and director Martin Cabrera shares. "But then as early debates among the producers went on as to what actually will the final title be, we all realized that Condo nicely wraps everything up for the material in a thematic way. Condo as a title lends both literal and figurative strokes to the film."
The film topbills Coco Martin. Yes, the same Coco Martin who shot to indie fame via Dante Mendoza's critically acclaimed Masahista. Coco has become a staple to many important independent films to date. If anybody wants to trace his works released in 2007, just check out the following titles: Siquijor, Ataul For Rent, Nars, Tambolista, Batanes, Tirador. Coco Martin was in all of them, in all important roles.
Condo is produced by a new group of filmmakers who are bound by a collective passion about the craft. Aloy Adlawan leads the crew as writer and producer of their first offering. Martin Cabrera was handed down the job of directing. Jeyow Evangelista brought his camera to the set as Cinematographer, Rona Lean Sales sat down as editor, Raymund Cruz coordinated the Production Management work.
