Check out the link at http://www.bfi.org.uk/lff/films/ to read the lucid description of AMIGO by our good friend Geoff Andrew and enjoy as I did the description "typically pertinent"!

  2. Hello:

    I'm a writer and historian of the Philippine-American War, and also a big fan of your films. I'd like to cover Amigo in an essay for Harper's, which has expressed interest, and I wondered if you might have time to talk with me about it at some point. Thanks.

  3. Hello there!

    I'm Mae Williams Founder and Operations Manager of Philippine Generations. We are an not for profit organisations that promotes the Philippines and the voice of under-represented Filipino minority in London and UK. We have about 3000 members and supporters in UK and around the world.

    I recently saw that you're showing the film 'Amigo' at the London Festival, it would be the first ever Filipino related film shown in the London Film Festival. Back in 2008 we attempted to show the film 'Tribu' Directed by Jim Libiran at the East London Festival but didn't go through.

    I am very interested to speak to someone about the film 'Amigo' and possibly open doors for other showing in London. From the trailer the film looks great! I hope to hear from you soon!
