If you think the young director is all bluff and bluster, wait till he lets you in on the projects he’s cooking up: There’s “Arisaka,” a revenge western film for Ten17P and Season 3 of “Halfworlds,” the first Philippine-set HBO miniseries. Then, there’s also the Ricky Lee-penned “The Grandstand,” for Globe Studios; his “Quantum Suicide” collaboration with Japan; and the prequel of “Eerie,” for Star Cinema. Whoa.
Introducing a new genre to a wide local audience is tricky. I had to make a zombie primer, a highlight reel, and add Filipino elements to it—like the barkada and the family angle—but I had to contain it since I had to work with limited resources. “Eerie” and “Block Z” are horror movies that are very different from each other in terms of tone. How did you manage to make both films terrifying for viewers? What for you makes a movie scary?“Eerie” is an ode to Asian horror, which is usually about a vengeful supernatural/spiritual entity, while “Block Z” comes with a more physical threat. Both have their own genre parameters, and I had to navigate through them, creating tension with film language.
