MANILA, Philippines – Rappler talks to Sean Ellis, Oscar-nominated film director and actor Jake Macapagal
Ellis directed two feature films and a number of short films, including Academy Award nominated Cashback. Now, Ellis is coming out with his third full-length movie, Metro Manila.
Metro Manila is the story of a family man from the province trying to make it in the streets of Manila who ends up losing his way. Macapagal plays the lead character, Oscar Ramirez.
Watch the interview below.
Ellis says the story grew from an argument he witnessed between two employees of an armoured truck company while visiting the Philippines.
Metro Manila bagged the audience award for best world dramatic film at the Sundance film festival in January.
Actress Althea Vega also stars in the film as Mai Ramirez, Oscar’s wife. Watch the interview with her below.
