Do we really need a Metro Manila Film Festival Parade?

This has been on my mind ever since and I want to tell it to everyone. Do we really need it? I know it's like marketing strategy but there's a lot of ways to market a film. Why make a float? It costs a lot of production budget and also cause traffic whenever the parade is being held at. Is the new MMDA Chairman still making rounds or leading the Metro Manila Film Festival still? Because I think that's stupid, putting a person who doesn't know anything about films in general. The committee should at least hire someone who knows how to do it, a real filmmaker perhaps?

Remember 2016? The films were all flops based on statistics and the films got pulled off the cinema one by one. People don't even gave a chance for the films to shine and fulfill their glory in the spotlight. This film festival is all about making money. I don't have a problem in making money but making money with no passion. It's all about the money, they are basically like Mr. Krabs you know?

I know that Metro Manila Film Festival is like listening to the people about you know. family friendly films I guess? But is it too stupid to do that? I mean, why not just move Metro Manila Film Festival on November like it was before back then. Then have films of.. I don't know Vice Ganda or Vic Sotto on the summer seasons, you know? Imagine hollywood blockbusters. I know it's pathetic. This film festival has lost it's prestigious back then. It should be revamped.

I would recommend that films shown in the film festival should be at least a high caliber. Parang ma-indie type of movies. This film festival should also stick with a similar feel type of movie, wag yung mixed. Parang let's say kung yung Star Wars is Sci-Fi, Drama tas yung Get Out is Horror, Drama. Gets niyo? Pwedeng ibang genres basta iisa lang yung feel ng films. Mapacomedy man yan or mapaaction basta stick with a similar feel or tone to it.

So balik tayo sa mmff parade. So like what I said, just remove this parade and replaced with a really really awesome marketing strategy that doesn't involve a parade. I don't know I feel like Metro Manila Film Festival is just a stupid yet great way to make money and profit from. But it's just too stupid to not even make it like it was before back then. A prestigious film festival where filmmakers will be appreciated and be happy for winning a prestigious award.

Ngayon kase parang nababadtrip sila kapag nanalo ng mmff award. They prefer Cinemalaya over this and you know the reason why.

RANT: Change the name of "Metro Manila Film Festival" to "Christmas Film Festival"

Let's be honest here: MMFF will be always dominated by the view that it should be "family friendly" because children are watching, too. Well, that festival isn't proper in the first place, as it severely handicaps the films that actually shows the art, in favour of those "Christmas blockbusters" that "more properly fits the criteria they have given."

How to fix Metro Manila Film Festival

Quick story, I hate Dec 25 - Jan 7 due no international films. I've seen few MMFF pero it's a living hell(2 weeks of pain)

My solution 1)Move MMFF season to 1st week of Dec or kahit anong month like Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino.

  1. Art film vs Mainstream Bakit mga mainstream movie need pa lumaban sa MMFF obvious naman sino mga Box Office monsters
  • Paano sila(mainstream movie) naging under ng Artsy Film(acc.to their criteria) that's like saying Siberian Film(2010) deserves a Golden Globe nomination
  1. Unfair competition 8 enteries, 2/8 mas favor sa general audiences dahil holiday.(makes sense) CINEMAS that has 4or3 slots 2nd week na!, Wala parin changes ng yayari sa tatlong theaters near me (yes,kahit crappy foreign film may spot parin for a day or so but still fair play)

8/8 entries 3 or 2 lang ang importante,Why ?

  1. GTFO(sa MMFF) Mainstream movies Their main target has always been "A movie for family and enjoy the rest" same shitΓ© since then.

If that's the mission

  • Why can't they compete outside the MMFF since they're so different ?
  • Why can't they participate against International's Dec movies ? (Star Wars IX vs Vice Ganda or any celebs w/ Star Power)
  • Why not release at month w/o ABS-CBN vs GMA shit (kay may civil war lagi)

parang yan Avengers: End Game vs New Mutants

  1. In Theory EVERYONE WINS. this is what it should be for Dec 25 & Jan 7 2019 onwards. All sides win more than ever. I mean ppl like me(or us) dislike Dec 25 Ph movies. Minority kami it when to this. They've ruined their own reputation as prestigious film festival...Hope this restores that status

What about Financial success and lost wise, Idk about this one due never had a background w/ finance. Please enlighten me,am curious on this one

Metro Manila pride & festival 2017! Come march with us! ❀️

What: Metro Manila Pride March and Festival When: June 24, 2017 Where: City of Marikina

Check previous posting!

Hi Pride goers!

We, the unicorns of r/phlgbt, are going to Marikina to march with pride and as we party with everyone from the tribe we thought maybe you could join us!

Well as this year's theme we all want to be #HereTogether in celebrating love and openness, of course, with you labs! Don't be shy na, we don't bite naman.. ('Less you want us to, rawr!) Kidding aside, that's our purpose, to bring everyone #HereTogether despite differences.. And social skills lol. We know some of you may be shy or going solo, maybe even hesitant to be present kasi walang kasama.. We got you fam! Not only will you meet new friends from the sub, you might also meet your forever na.. Who knows? ;)

We won't be bringing grandiose floats and colorful banners btw but who needs that when you have all the colors beautifully glowing in you? Lol charot. We already have a spot on the parade you just need to look for the company with big banner and shirts saying "PRIDE@SAP" Kasunod natin sila. Harap nila tayo. (Yes, may order ang contingents and MMP is very orderly and is super strict about it so better be in touch with us)

I will be leaving these phone numbers here for you to contact prior or on the day of the event if you wish to join us. Reach out para di tayo maligaw sa event :)

u/tintado, 0917-707-3326 u/secretgirlfromph, 0925-811-9364

We don't mind if you save the number for other purposes.. heehee! Well we really, really hope to see you there! See you labs! ❀️
