REKADOS - Paolo Herras' 2nd Digital Film Premieres at SM Megamall

REKADOS by Paolo Herras, a Magical Tragi-comedy Starring Meryll Soriano and Eula Valdes Premieres at the 2nd Cinema One Originals Film Festival this November.

Cinema One never fails to add flavor to the Philippine movie landscape. This is because Rekados, one of the chosen and official seven digifilms of the Cinema One Originals will run from November 24 to 26 for the 2nd Annual Cinema One Originals Digital Movie Festival at the Indie Sine of Robinsons Galleria (Cinema 8, for tickets contact JAM 09186925395.

Rekados will also have its separate premiere screening on November 20 at the SM Megamall Cinema 1 at 7pm.

Written and directed by Paolo Herras of the acclaimed indie film Lambanog, Rekados is a magical tragic comedy of three generations of cooks in the slums that owns a carinderia. Josefina (Boots Anson Roa), the matriarch whose traditional skill in cooking keeps the family alive; Laura (Eula Valdes), the daughter who prefers cooking to please her customers and the man she desires; and caught in between the two is Pinay (Meryll Soriano), the granddaughter who mimics Kris Aquino to get a basketball player of her own.

In their small world of the kitchen that empowers and imprisons them, they cook dishes that symbolize their affection: adobo; kare-kare; dinuguan; and pansit. In Rekados, each of them brings different flavors as they mix with each other and the men of their desires. Photography in Rekados is by Mark Gary and Ivan Sarenas of Sandalang Bahay.
