Daybreak – An Indie film that looks very promising
A new film coming out in February 2008 called Daybreak. Coco Martin and Paolo Rivero (comes from a list of Filipino Hunks) stars in this ala 24th Day (gay-themed film starring the X-Men, Underwold hunk Scott Speedman)(2004) mixed with Brokeback Mountain (gay-themed film starring the late Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal).
The film shows only these two characters and their conversation during one night together to talk about their relationship, their courage and love for each other. The conversation hone in on their true emotions for each other.
I am very thrilled that a Filipino filmmaker will try and tackle a story based on a story that occurs overnight based only on these two characters, William and JP. It is refreshing to know that Filipinos as artists are jumping in and trying their hands at different levels of movie-making. The preview is quite enough for me to know that this could end up to be a great film. I am expecting this film to be an entry to the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival this year.
